A new poll shows U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) expanding his lead over State Attorney General Steve Marshall and other candidates in the race to be Alabama’s next U.S. Senator.
Peak Insights called 500 likely Republican voters from April 11-13 and found that 34% supported Moore, 16% supported Marshall and 12% supported Jared Hudson. Thirty-two percent were still undecided.
“Barry Moore leads in every media market,” Erik Iverson with Peak Insights said in a polling memo. “Moore also leads among both men and women and voters of all ages. Among ‘Trump/MAGA’ wing voters (who make up 67% of the primary electorate in AL), Moore leads Marshall, 42-14%. Moore also leads Marshall by double digits among both ‘Conservative’ and ‘very’ Conservative voters, who combined make up 88% of the vote.”
A poll by American Pulse Research & Polling, conducted March 30-April 1, showed Moore with a narrower 26% to 21% lead over Marshall.
One thing that appears to be helping Moore pull ahead is President Donald Trump's endorsement. The survey found that 56% of voters were aware of the endorsement, and that among that group, most supported Moore over Marshall, 53-18%.
“As voters continue to learn about the Trump endorsement, Moore’s lead on the ballot will continue to grow,” the release stated.
In the event of a runoff election between the two, the survey found that Moore would easily beat Marshall, 47-27%.
“In sum, Congressman Barry Moore is well-positioned to finish first in the Primary and to win a run-off election should one be necessary,” Iverson said.
The survey had a margin of error of ±4 %.
