The Alaska governor primary left Kreiss-Tomkins and Begich a few points apart, but today's chatbots only ask about a four-way field that already dropped Begich's running mate dynamic.
Alaska's August gubernatorial primary had Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins and Thomas Begich finishing within 1.7 points of each other, 22.5 percent to 20.8 percent. Begich is no longer part of today's chatbot panel, which asks about Kreiss-Tomkins, Taylor, Wilson, and Bronson. Chatbots now pick Kreiss-Tomkins 54.4 percent of the time against a field that excludes his closest primary rival, a framing worth flagging since the primary's near-tie is easy to read as still live.
