The top four vote-getters in Alaska's special House primary, regardless of their party, will advance to a ranked-choice special general election Aug. 16.
Palin secured Trump's endorsement in the House race, but it wasn't enough to clear the field.
The low approval rating helps explain why Palin has not done as much in-person campaigning as many of her rivals, Lottsfeldt said, instead relying on her name recognition, media attention and Trump's endorsement to generate support. He pointed to Young, Ted Stevens, a Republican who served Alaska in the U.S. Senate for four decades, and Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican up for reelection this year who has criticized Trump and has a history of bucking GOP leadership in Washington.
"Trump has a following, but I'm not sure it's the kind of following to get an endorsement over the finish line" in Alaska, he said.
