Alabama Runoff Polls Split 2-1 for Jared Hudson Over Barry Moore
3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jun 16
Summary
Three independent post-primary polls show a mixed Alabama Republican Senate runoff, with Jared Hudson ahead in two surveys and Barry Moore leading in one before Tuesday’s vote.
Hudson led by 5 points in a June 5-7 Strategy Management poll of 1,300 likely voters and by 10 points in a May 28 Alabama Poll survey, while Moore led by 9 points in a June 3-4 co/efficient poll.
Moore still brings momentum from the May 19 primary, where he finished nearly 14 points ahead after winning Donald Trump’s endorsement and outperforming earlier polling.
Hudson’s path may depend on voters who backed Steve Marshall, who finished third in the primary with nearly 25% and trailed Hudson by just over 1 point.
A 20% undecided share in one recent poll underscores the runoff’s uncertainty, with Hudson stronger around Birmingham and Moore better among older, more conservative voters who often dominate lower-turnout runoffs.
