Thanks for the heads-up.
Rasmussen has even newer numbers than those posted below. They're still on the firm's pay site, but there's a round-up here at www.realclearpolitics.com.

They're reporting Nov. 1 numbers of:
Palin: 48 percent
Knowles: 43 percent
Undecided: 4 percent

(I checked on the Rasmussen pay site to verify.)

A recent Rasmussen Reports poll has Palin’s lead at two percentage points over Knowles, with 12 percent choosing “other.”

In this case, “other” is presumably Halcro. The last few Rasmussen polls have ignored Halcro.

The results:
Palin: 42 percent.
Knowles: 40 percent.

The poll was conducted Oct. 29. The sample size was 500 likely voters, with a margin of error of about 4.5 percent.

The firm reports:
Knowles has shored up his base since August. He then had 89% of Democrats with him when he was matched up against the incumbent, Governor Murkowski. But Knowles attracted only 72% of Democrats in a match-up with Palin. In the current poll he draws 82% of fellow Democrats.
Palin attracts about the same number of Republicans now as she did then (70%). But she has lost her narrow advantage with unaffiliated voters, among whom her opponent now leads 46% to 28%.
