Diane Benson, Rep. Don Young's foe in 2006, just released a new poll (PDF) today showing the scandal-plagued incumbent trailing both Benson and former state House Minority Leader Ethan Berkowitz, who are vying for the Democratic nomination. Both Dems also lead Young's Republican primary challenger, state Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux.

Craciun Research Group for Diane Benson (10/27-11/02):

Diane Benson (D): 45.3%
Don Young (R-inc): 36.7%
Undecided: 15.6%

Ethan Berkowitz (D): 49.7%
Don Young (R-inc): 35.1%
Undecided: 13.8%

Diane Benson (D): 45.0%
Gabriella LeDoux (R): 12.3%
Undecided: 38.2%

Ethan Berkowitz (D): 49.0%
Gabriella LeDoux (R): 13.8%
Undecided: 32.9%
(MoE: ±4.9%)

If this poll is remotely accurate, Young is screwed. An earlier poll, conducted in August by Ivan Moore Research, showed Young trailing Berkowitz by nearly 6 points. The environment hasn't exactly improved for young since then, so who knows.
