Senate Majority Leader Robert J. Dole had endorsements from Alaska's two U.S. senators and its most recent Republican governor, but it didn't do him much good in the state's straw poll.

The Kansas senator and GOP presidential front-runner finished a distant third behind Patrick J. Buchanan and Malcolm S. "Steve" Forbes Jr. in results released early today. Buchanan polled 33 percent, with 2,991 of the 9,188 votes; Forbes took 31 percent, with 2,822 votes; and Dole had 17 percent, with 1,569.
