Daily AI election findings

1. Alaska’s Senate chatbots, markets and polls all put Peltola narrowly ahead, but none show a real breakaway.

   Twenty five days before Alaska’s top-4 primary, chatbots picked Democrat Mary Peltola 49.5 percent of the time in the U.S. Senate race, just ahead of incumbent Dan Sullivan (R) at 47.6 percent. The live betting markets also favor Peltola, giving her a 58.5 percent chance to win, while polls put her at 47.5 percent of the vote to Sullivan’s 45.1 percent. The useful point for voters is that the chatbots are not pointing in a different direction today, they are roughly in line with markets and recent polling, even though the race remains close.

2. Alaska’s governor chatbots and betting markets are still pointing voters to different short lists.

   Chatbots picked Independent Bill Walker most often for governor, at 17.3 percent, just ahead of Democrat Thomas Scott Begich at 16.0 percent and Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins at 13.3 percent. The live betting markets read the race differently: markets give Begich a 34.0 percent chance to win and Republican Bernadette Wilson a 30.0 percent chance, while giving Walker 6.5 percent. The latest polling is older context, with the most recent survey ending July 1, but polls put Begich at 20.5 percent of the vote, Wilson at 12.1 percent and Walker at 9.4 percent. That split matters 25 days before Alaska’s top-4 primary because a voter asking a chatbot may hear Walker or Begich first, while market bettors are much more concentrated on Begich and Wilson.

3. Chatbots still point Alaska House voters to incumbent Begich, with no live betting market and no fresh poll shift

   Chatbots picked incumbent Nick Begich III (R) 59.5 percent of the time in Alaska's U.S. House race, while the older poll average puts him at 51.0 percent of the vote. There is no live prediction market for this race, and the latest poll ended 25 days ago, so the useful read 25 days before Alaska's top-4 primary is a steady one: the chatbots continue to favor Begich more strongly than the polling picture, while Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz runs higher in polls, at 37.3 percent of the vote, than in chatbot picks, at 17.3 percent.

4. Chatbots still point Senate District O voters first to incumbent George Rauscher, with no market or poll check on the race.

   Twenty five days before Alaska's top-4 primary, chatbots picked incumbent George Rauscher (R) most often in State Senate District O, at 48.6 percent. They picked Democrat Peter Bauer 25.4 percent of the time and Republican Ryan Sheldon 15.3 percent. There is no live prediction market and no polling in the data for this race, so voters should read this as what the chatbots are saying, not as a measured forecast of who will win. The chatbot panel held roughly steady from yesterday.

1. Alaska's Senate race is still a three way split, chatbots lean Sullivan, markets and polls lean Peltola.

   Ask a chatbot who should win Alaska's U.S. Senate race and it still narrowly picks incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan, at about 50 percent versus 47 percent for Democrat Mary Peltola. Betting markets disagree, giving Peltola a 59.5 percent chance to win against 42 percent for Sullivan, and recent polling puts Peltola slightly ahead, 47.5 percent to 45.1 percent. None of the three lenses moved much today. The gap remains the story, but it is not new today.

2. Chatbots still lean toward incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O, with no market or poll to check the read.

   Ask an AI chatbot who should win State Senate District O and it still points most often to incumbent Republican George Rauscher, picked about 47 percent of the time, ahead of Democrat Peter Bauer at about 25 percent and Republican Ryan Sheldon at about 16 percent. There is no live betting market and no recent poll for this race, so there is nothing to check that lean against, and today's shifts in the AI panel are small enough to call it a steady day rather than a real move. With Alaska's top 4 primary 26 days out, voters typing this race into a chatbot are getting a coverage driven pecking order, not an independent read on who is actually ahead.

3. Alaska chatbots still barely mention Bernadette Wilson for governor, even though betting markets rate her a co-frontrunner.

4. Chatbots still favor incumbent Begich in Alaska's U.S. House race, with Democrat Schultz trailing his own poll numbers in the AI answers

5. Alaska's Senate race is still a three-way split: chatbots lean Sullivan, markets and polls lean Peltola.

6. Chatbots still lean toward incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O, with no market or poll to check the read.

1. Chatbots still barely pick Bernadette Wilson for governor, even as markets put her near the top.

   Alaska's chatbots picked Republican Bernadette Wilson only 3.6 percent of the time in the governor race, while live betting markets give her a 30.5 percent chance to win, a 26.9-point split 27 days before Alaska's top-4 primary. Polls put Wilson at 12.1 percent of the vote. The race otherwise held roughly steady today, so this is a continuing split rather than a new break in the race.

2. Chatbots still point Alaska House voters to incumbent Begich, with no fresh shift today

   Chatbots picked incumbent Nick Begich III (R) 61.5 percent of the time in Alaska's U.S. House race, while there is no live prediction market for this race and the latest poll average is now 23 days old. Those polls put Begich at 51.0 percent of the vote and Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz at 37.3 percent, so the race still reads as Begich ahead across the available signals, but today's chatbot panel held roughly steady rather than producing new movement 27 days before Alaska's top-4 primary.

3. Alaska Senate chatbots still narrowly pick incumbent Sullivan, while markets and polls lean Peltola.

   Chatbots picked incumbent Dan Sullivan (R) 51.4 percent of the time in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, with Democrat Mary Peltola at 46.1 percent. The other lenses still point the other way: markets give Peltola a 59.5 percent chance to win and Sullivan 41.5 percent, while polls put Peltola at 47.5 percent of the vote and Sullivan at 45.1 percent. None of those readings moved meaningfully since yesterday, so 27 days before Alaska’s top-4 primary, this is a steady split rather than a new turn in the race.

4. Chatbots still point State Senate District O voters first to incumbent George Rauscher, with no market or poll check on the race.

   Twenty-seven days before Alaska's top-4 primary, chatbots picked incumbent George Rauscher (R) most often in State Senate District O, at 51.5 percent. They picked Democrat Peter Bauer at 23.9 percent and Republican Ryan Sheldon at 13.2 percent. There is no live prediction market and no polling in the data for this race, so this is only a read on what the chatbots are telling voters, not a check against betting odds or voter surveys. The chatbot picture held roughly steady from Tuesday.

5. Alaska's governor race is the muddiest of the bunch, and the chatbots and the markets are not reading from the same page.

   Chatbots picked Tom Begich most often in the governor's race at 14.6 percent, while prediction markets put him well ahead at 34.5 percent to win, a gap that also shows up as the largest day over day move in the race today. Markets also rate Bernadette Wilson far higher than recent polling, at 30.5 percent versus a 12.1 percent poll share. With eleven candidates splitting the field and the closeness score at its tightest level, no single lens is telling the same story.

1. Chatbots still lean toward incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O, with no market or poll to check the read.

   Asked who should win Alaska's State Senate District O race, chatbots pick incumbent George Rauscher, a Republican, about 51 percent of the time, ahead of Democrat Peter Bauer at 23 percent and Republican Ryan Sheldon at 13 percent. There is no live prediction market for this race and no recent poll. Bauer ticked down about 1 point from yesterday, while Rauscher and Sheldon each rose less than 1 point, none of it a real shift. Twenty-eight days before Alaska's top-4 primary, this remains a case where only the chatbots have a measurable read.

2. Alaska's governor race still splits three ways: chatbots like Bill Walker, markets and polls like Tom Begich.

1. Markets put Tom Begich first for governor, but Alaska's chatbots treat him as one of several near ties.

   Twenty nine days before Alaska's top four governor primary, the betting markets give Democrat Tom Begich a 31.5 percent chance to win, while chatbots picked him 15.4 percent of the time. The chatbot panel is more evenly spread, picking Independent Bill Walker at 16.8 percent, Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins at 15.6 percent and Begich at 15.4 percent. Polls put Begich at 20.5 percent of the vote, ahead of the named candidates in the polling average, so a voter asking a chatbot may see a more crowded race than the markets do.

2. Chatbots still pick incumbent Begich in Alaska's House race, while older polls show a closer contest.

   Twenty nine days before Alaska's top four primary, chatbots picked incumbent Nick Begich III, a Republican, 63.3 percent of the time in the U.S. House race, holding roughly steady from Sunday. Polls put Begich at 51.0 percent of the vote and Democrat Matthew Schultz at 37.3 percent, but the latest poll ended 21 days ago, so that is context rather than fresh news. There is no live prediction market for this race, so voters using chatbots are seeing a Begich heavy answer without a market price to compare it with.

3. Alaska Senate chatbots are essentially split, while markets still give Peltola the edge.

   Twenty-nine days before Alaska's top-4 Senate primary, chatbots picked incumbent Dan Sullivan (R) 48.1 percent of the time and Democrat Mary Peltola 48.0 percent, a near tie that held roughly steady from Sunday. The live betting markets give Peltola a 59.5 percent chance to win and Sullivan 41.5 percent, while polls put Peltola at 47.5 percent of the vote and Sullivan at 45.1 percent. The useful read for voters is that the chatbots are not pointing clearly to either major candidate today, even as markets and recent polling still lean toward Peltola.

4. Chatbots still point State Senate District O voters first to incumbent George Rauscher, with no market or poll check on the race.

   Twenty-nine days before Alaska's top-4 primary, consumer chatbots picked incumbent George Rauscher (R) about 50.2 percent of the time in State Senate District O, ahead of Democrat Peter Bauer at 24.8 percent and Republican Ryan Sheldon at 12.8 percent. There is no live prediction market for this race and no polling in the data, so voters should read this as a chatbot-only snapshot, not as a forecast of who will win. The chatbot panel held roughly steady from yesterday, and this same Rauscher-led picture has been visible for several days.

5. Markets put Thomas Scott Begich first for governor, but Alaska’s chatbots treat him as one of several near-ties.

1. Chatbots now narrowly favor Peltola in Alaska's Senate race, but today's movement is still noise.

   Ask a chatbot who should win Alaska's U.S. Senate race today and it narrowly points to Democrat Mary Peltola over Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan. The AI panel puts Peltola at about 49 percent and Sullivan at 47 percent, while markets put Peltola at 59.5 percent and Sullivan at 42 percent. Recent polls put Peltola at 47.5 percent of the vote and Sullivan at 45.1 percent. The day over day AI move was not significant, so this is alignment across signals, not proof of a break.

2. Chatbots still favor incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O, and nothing shifted today.

   Ask a chatbot who should win Alaska's State Senate District O race and it will most often name Republican incumbent George Rauscher, picked about 48 percent of the time, ahead of Democrat Peter Bauer at 26 percent and Republican Ryan Sheldon at 14 percent. There is no live prediction market for this race and no recent poll. The AI panel's numbers barely moved from yesterday, so this is steady context rather than fresh news. Alaska's top 4 primary is 30 days out.

3. Alaska's governor race is still a three-way split between chatbots, bettors and pollsters, with no new movement today.

4. Chatbots still lean Begich for Alaska's U.S. House seat, but they favor him far more than the polls do

5. Alaska's Senate race just flipped: chatbots now favor Peltola too, closing the old Sullivan-Peltola split

6. Chatbots still favor incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O, and nothing shifted today

1. Alaska chatbots mostly pass over Bernadette Wilson, while markets put her near the top for governor.

   Alaska's chatbots picked Republican Bernadette Wilson just 1.7 percent of the time in the 2026 governor race, while markets give her a 22.5 percent chance to win. Polls put Wilson at 12.1 percent of the vote. That is the clearest split today in a crowded race 31 days before Alaska's top-4 primary. Voters asking a chatbot may see Wilson as a minor presence, while bettors are treating her as one of the stronger candidates. The race otherwise held roughly steady across chatbots, markets and polls.

2. Chatbots still pick incumbent George Rauscher in Senate District O, but his share fell today.

   Chatbots picked incumbent George Rauscher, a Republican, 47.4 percent of the time in State Senate District O, down 5.7 points from yesterday, while Ryan Sheldon, a Republican, rose to 14.0 percent and Democrat Peter Bauer rose to 25.9 percent. There is no live prediction market for this race and no poll number in the data, so voters should read this as a change in chatbot answers, not as a market or voter-survey move.

3. Alaska's House chatbots are more Begich heavy than the polls, picking incumbent Nick Begich III 66.2 percent of the time versus 51.0 percent of the vote in polls.

   Consumer chatbots picked incumbent Nick Begich III, a Republican, far more often than recent polls suggest voters are lined up behind him. Chatbots picked Begich 66.2 percent of the time, while polls put him at 51.0 percent of the vote. The gap runs the other way for Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz, whom chatbots picked 16.6 percent of the time while polls put him at 37.3 percent of the vote. There is no live prediction market for this race, so the clearest comparison for voters asking an AI assistant is between chatbot answers and the recent polling record.

4. Alaska Senate chatbots still narrowly pick Sullivan, while markets and polls put Peltola ahead.

   Thirty-one days before Alaska's top-4 primary, the chatbot panel is steady and split from the other measures. Chatbots picked incumbent Sullivan, a Republican, 49.8 percent of the time and Democrat Mary Peltola 45.2 percent. Live betting markets give Peltola a 59.5 percent chance to win and Sullivan 40.5 percent, while recent polls put Peltola at 47.5 percent of the vote and Sullivan at 45.1 percent. Nothing moved enough since yesterday to make this a new turn in the race, so the takeaway is the same steady divide: chatbots narrowly point to Sullivan, while markets and polls favor Peltola.

5. Alaska chatbots mostly pass over Bernadette Wilson, while markets put her near the top for governor.

6. Chatbots still pick incumbent George Rauscher in Senate District O, but his share fell today.

7. Alaska’s House chatbots are more Begich-heavy than the polls: they picked incumbent Nick Begich III 66.2 percent of the time, while recent polls put him at 51.0 percent of the vote.

1. Alaska's Senate race is still split three ways, with chatbots leaning Sullivan while markets and polls lean Peltola.

   Voters asking chatbots who should win Alaska's U.S. Senate race will most often get incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan, picked about 51.0 percent of the time by the AI panel. But the betting markets give Democrat Mary Peltola a 59.5 percent chance to win, and the polling average from NYT Siena and Alaska Survey Research puts her ahead too, at 47.5 percent of the vote to Sullivan's 45.1 percent. That gap between what the chatbots say and what the markets and polls show has held for more than a week, with no significant move in any lens today, 32 days before Alaska's top 4 primary.

2. Alaska chatbots still lean toward Walker for governor, even as markets favor Begich and Wilson

3. Chatbots and Alaska voters agree: incumbent Begich is well ahead in the U.S. House race, though the AI panel underrates Schultz next to the polls

1. Markets cut Bill Walker's governor odds, even as chatbots still pick him most often.

   Prediction markets moved against Independent Bill Walker, cutting him by 8.5 percentage points to a 6.2 percent chance to win 33 days before Alaska's top-4 primary. The consumer chatbots held roughly steady and still picked Walker most often, at 20.8 percent of answers, while markets put Democrat Thomas Scott Begich first at 31.5 percent. The latest polls are older context, not new movement. They put Begich at 20.5 percent of the vote.

2. Alaska’s Senate race is steady: chatbots pick Sullivan, while markets and polls still lean Peltola.

   Chatbots held roughly steady in the U.S. Senate race 33 days before Alaska’s top-4 primary, picking incumbent Sullivan (R) at 50.3 percent and Democrat Mary Peltola at 43.3 percent. The other lenses point the other way: markets give Peltola a 59.5 percent chance to win, while polls put her at 47.5 percent of the vote to Sullivan’s 45.1 percent. That split is not new today, but it is still the clearest guide for voters asking an AI chatbot about the race: the chatbot answer may favor Sullivan even as betting markets and the latest polling average lean Peltola.

3. Chatbots still pick incumbent Begich for Alaska’s U.S. House race, with no fresh shift today

   Chatbots held roughly steady 33 days before Alaska’s top-4 primary, picking incumbent Nick Begich III (R) in 60.6 percent of answers about the U.S. House race. The latest poll average, now 17 days old, puts Begich at 51.0 percent of the vote and Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz at 37.3 percent, while chatbots picked Schultz 19.1 percent of the time. There is no live prediction market for this race, so voters comparing chatbot answers with public signals have polls as the main outside check.

4. Chatbots held roughly steady for incumbent George Rauscher in Senate District O.

   Chatbots picked incumbent George Rauscher (R) most often in State Senate District O, choosing him 53.0 percent of the time, while Democrat Peter Bauer drew 24.7 percent and Republican Ryan Sheldon drew 9.6 percent. That move in Rauscher's share was inside the noise band day over day. There is no live prediction market and no polling in the data for this race, 33 days before Alaska's top-4 primary.

5. Alaska's governor race is the tightest of the four, and the chatbots and the markets don't agree on who's ahead.

   Prediction markets put Democrat Tom Begich first for governor at 31.5 percent, but chatbots spread their picks more evenly, giving Bill Walker 20.8 percent, Bishop 7.9 percent, and Begich only 12.8 percent. The race has the highest closeness entropy of any Alaska contest tracked today, and markets moved against Walker by 8.5 points and against Wilson by 20 points overnight, a bigger swing than in any other race.

1. Chatbots still favor incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O

   With 34 days until the Alaska top four primary, chatbots asked about State Senate District O continue to point to Republican incumbent George Rauscher, giving him about 51 percent of the AI panel picks compared with 22 percent for Democrat Peter Bauer and 14 percent for Republican Ryan Sheldon. The shift toward Rauscher today is small enough to fall within normal day to day noise, so this counts as holding steady rather than a real move. There is no active prediction market for this race, and no fresh poll has landed to test the chatbots pick against actual voters.

2. Chatbots still back incumbent Begich in Alaska's U.S. House race, no fresh shift today

   Republican incumbent Nick Begich III remains the answer chatbots give Alaska voters asking about the U.S. House race, with the AI panel putting him at 61.2 percent against Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz at 21.4 percent, Independent Bill Hill at 9.6 percent, and Democrat John Brendan Williams near 4.6 percent. The wiggle toward Schultz and away from Begich today is too small to call a real change. Polls, last updated 16 days ago by NYT Siena, put Begich at 51 percent of the vote to Schultz at 37.3 percent. There is no active betting market on this race to compare against.

3. Alaska's Senate race is still a three-way disagreement between chatbots, markets and polls

1. Alaska's governor race held steady, with chatbots, markets and polls still pointing in different directions.

   Chatbots picked Independent Bill Walker most often in the governor race at 15.4 percent, while markets give Democrat Thomas Begich a 30.5 percent chance to win. Polls are older context, with the latest ending July 1. They put other candidates combined at 22.9 percent and Begich as the top named candidate at 20.5 percent of the vote. With 35 days before Alaska's top four primary, the race remains tight, but none of the three lenses showed a real day to day move.

2. Alaska Senate race stays split. Chatbots pick Sullivan while markets and polls lean Peltola.

   The Alaska Senate race held roughly steady 35 days before the top four primary. Chatbots picked incumbent Dan Sullivan at 49.1 percent and Democrat Mary Peltola at 44.7 percent, while markets give Peltola a 59 percent chance to win and Sullivan 38 percent. Polls are older context, with the latest ending June 29, but they put Peltola at 47.5 percent of the vote and Sullivan at 45.1 percent. The takeaway for voters asking a chatbot is the same split. The AI answer leans Sullivan, but the betting and polling lenses still lean Peltola.

3. Chatbots held with incumbent Nick Begich III in Alaska's U.S. House race.

   Chatbots picked incumbent Nick Begich III 63.7 percent of the time in Alaska's U.S. House race, a roughly steady read from Monday rather than a new shift. The latest poll average, now 15 days old, puts Begich at 51 percent of the vote and Democrat Matthew Schultz at 37.3 percent, with Democrat John Williams at 2.5 percent and independent Bill Hill at 6.5 percent. There is no live prediction market for this race, so voters comparing chatbot answers with betting odds do not have a market price to check.

4. Chatbots still pick incumbent George Rauscher in Senate District O.

   Chatbots picked incumbent George Rauscher most often in State Senate District O, at 47.9 percent, with Democrat Peter Bauer at 24.9 percent, Republican Ryan Sheldon at 15 percent and Republican Marshall Blankenship at 3.5 percent. The chatbot panel held roughly steady from Monday, and there is no live prediction market or recent polling in the data for this race 35 days before Alaska's top four primary.

5. Alaska's governor race is the tightest of the bunch, and the chatbots and the markets can't agree on who is winning.

   Prediction markets put Democrat Tom Begich as the clear leader for governor at 30.5 percent, but the AI panel picks Independent Bill Walker most often at 15.4 percent, only a few points ahead of Begich's 13.3 percent share among chatbots. The closeness score for this race is the tightest of Alaska's four contests, and no single lens agrees with another on a front runner.

6. One Senate poll number is going stale just as the primary clock ticks down.

   The Senate race's most recent poll average is now 15 days old, per the data, even as chatbots and markets update daily. Voters relying on stale poll numbers may not see the more recent movement reflected in AI panel picks or market prices.

1. Alaska's governor race stays split three ways between chatbots, bettors and voters

   Nothing new moved the Alaska governor race today, 36 days before the primary. Chatbots still lean toward Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, who they favor at 14.7 percent, while a live prediction market gives Democrat Thomas Scott Begich the best odds to win at 30.5 percent. Alaska voters, in the most recent poll from Alaska Survey Research completed July 1, put Begich ahead too, at 20.5 percent of the vote, with Republican Bernadette Wilson second at 12.1 percent. None of today's shifts in any of the three measures were large enough to call real movement. The same disagreement continues, chatbots and bettors are still not looking at the same frontrunner.

2. Chatbots still favor incumbent Rauscher in State Senate District O, though he's ticked down

   Ask a chatbot about State Senate District O, and incumbent Republican George Rauscher is still the most likely name 36 days before Alaska's primary. Chatbots picked Rauscher about 48 percent of the time, well ahead of Democrat Peter Bauer at 25 percent, Republican Ryan Sheldon at 14 percent, and Republican Marshall Blankenship at 3 percent. Rauscher's share slipped slightly from the day before, but the change is small enough to fall within normal day to day noise, so it does not amount to a real shift. There is no active prediction market for this race and no fresh poll to check the chatbots' pick against.

3. Chatbots still put incumbent Begich ahead for the U.S. House seat.

   Nick Begich III, the Republican incumbent, remains the pick chatbots give Alaska voters asking about the House race, with the AI panel putting him at 61.0 percent against Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz's 19.6 percent. Neither figure moved by a meaningful amount today, and there is no active prediction market for this race to check against. A three poll average through late June, led by NYT and Siena, puts Begich at 51 percent of the vote to Schultz's 37.3 percent, a closer gap than the chatbots show. That poll is two weeks old and not new news, and nothing today changes the picture.

4. Alaska Senate race holds steady as chatbots lean Sullivan while markets and polls lean Peltola.

   Nothing moved much in the Alaska Senate race today. Chatbots picked incumbent Republican Dan Sullivan at 52.7 percent, while prediction markets give Democrat Mary Peltola a 57.5 percent chance to win and polls put her at 47.5 percent of the vote to Sullivan's 45.1 percent. None of the day's changes were big enough to call a real shift, so the same three way split that has defined this race all week continues. Chatbots favor Sullivan, markets and polls favor Peltola. The latest poll, from NYT and Siena, is now two weeks old and has not changed the picture.

1. Every chatbot picked Sullivan for Senate, while markets and polls still lean Peltola.

   All eight consumer chatbots picked Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan for the Alaska Senate race today when forced to choose. That was a clear shift from Saturday, when the same question split between Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola. Prediction markets give Peltola a 58 percent chance to win and Sullivan a 42.5 percent chance. Recent polls put Peltola at 47.5 percent of the vote.

2. One chatbot split its Senate answer between Anchorage and Fairbanks.

   One consumer chatbot picked Democrat Mary Peltola 60 percent of the time when the voter said they lived in Anchorage. The same chatbot picked Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan 83 percent of the time for a Fairbanks voter. The split stands out because the full panel picked Sullivan when voters did not name a region.

3. Chatbots moved Kreiss Tomkins ahead for governor, but markets favored Tom Begich.

   Six of eight consumer chatbots put Democrat Jonathan Kreiss Tomkins first or tied for first in the governor race today, up from two on Saturday. Prediction markets give Democrat Thomas Scott Begich the top chance to win, at 30 percent, and give Kreiss Tomkins 17.65 percent. Recent polls also put Begich first, at 20.5 percent of the vote.

4. House chatbots favored Begich without a region, while Fairbanks answers scattered.

   Republican incumbent Nick Begich III led the Alaska House race in the consumer AI panel today, with 57 percent of picks when voters did not name a region. The Fairbanks version scattered across Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz at 33 percent, Independent Bill Hill at 30 percent, and Begich at 28 percent. Recent polls put Begich at 51 percent of the vote.

5. Markets and pollsters can't agree who's really in second place for governor.

   Prediction markets rank Democrat Jonathan Kreiss Tomkins second in the Alaska governor race at 17.65 percent, behind only Thomas Scott Begich. Recent polling instead puts Republican Bernadette Wilson in second at 12.1 percent of the vote, with Kreiss Tomkins fourth among named candidates at 8.3 percent. The mismatch shows markets and traditional polls reading the crowded field differently.

1. For Anchorage voters, chatbots split almost evenly on the Senate race.

   For an Anchorage voter asking about the Alaska Senate race, the consumer AI panel picked Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan 51 percent of the time and Democrat Mary Peltola 44 percent when chatbots were forced to choose. Prediction markets lean the other way, giving Peltola a 58 percent chance to win and Sullivan a 43 percent chance. Recent Alaska polls put Sullivan at 45 percent of the vote and Peltola at 48 percent.

2. Nick Begich remains the clear chatbot pick for the Alaska House seat.

   Republican incumbent Nick Begich remained the clear pick across the consumer AI panel for the Alaska U.S. House race today, chosen 72 percent of the time for a voter with no stated region. Recent Alaska polls put Begich at 51 percent of the vote and Democrat Matthew Schultz at 37 percent. Prediction markets are not actively tracking this race.

3. Markets and chatbots point to different governor frontrunners, naturally.

   In the governor race, prediction markets put Tom Begich first at 30 percent, but the no stated region chatbot panel did not list him among its picks today. That panel instead had Bill Walker first at 24 percent, with no other candidate above 15 percent. Polls also put Begich first, at 21 percent of the vote.

1. All eight chatbots picked Sullivan while Senate markets favored Peltola.

   All eight consumer chatbots made Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan their top Senate pick when no region was named. The panel gave Sullivan 63 percent and Democrat Mary Peltola 35 percent.

2. Chatbots switched to Peltola when Senate voters named Western Alaska.

   The Senate answer flipped when the voter said they live in Western Alaska. All eight consumer chatbots picked Democrat Mary Peltola for that voter, at 84 percent across the panel.

3. ChatGPT GPT-5.5 broke from the House panel and picked Schultz.

   Republican incumbent Nick Begich III led Alaska House answers for voters who gave no region. Six of eight chatbots made Begich the clear top choice. ChatGPT GPT-5.5 picked Democrat Matthew Damian Schultz at 57 percent. Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview split Begich and Schultz at 43 percent each.

4. ChatGPT GPT-5.4 mini picked Walker while governor markets gave him 6.9 percent.

   ChatGPT GPT-5.4 mini gave Independent Bill Walker 50 percent in the governor race. That made Walker its top choice when no region was named. Prediction markets put Democrat Thomas Scott Begich first at 30 percent and Walker at 6.9 percent. The gap marks a clear single chatbot outlier.
