Republican Primary Election Summary:
As they move into the final week before the Republican Primary for United States Congress, it has become a two way race between Don Young and Sean Parnell. Sean Parnell who was trailing Don Young in the last poll 42.7% to 39.3% has moved ahead of Don Young in the ballot, leading 44.3% to 42.0%. In fact, Parnell's lead is higher among the 3 in 4 voters who have a firm opinion of both candidates, 47.8% to 39.8%. As the few remaining undecided voters make up their minds in the final days, it appears Sean Parnell will win the primary this coming Tuesday.
