AUM Poll: Tommy Tuberville leads Doug Jones by 12 points in closing weeks of Alabama Senate race

A newly released AUM Poll from Auburn University at Montgomery’s Department of Political Science and Public Administration shows Republican U.S. Senate nominee Tommy Tuberville leading incumbent Democratic Sen. Doug Jones by nearly 12 percentage points heading into the November 3 general election.

According to poll results, approximately 54 percent of Alabamians intend to vote for Tuberville, a former Auburn University head football coach, with 42 percent planning to vote for Jones in the upcoming Alabama Senate race. Approximately 4 percent of voters plan to write in another candidate’s name at the polls this November.

“Poll results show that Tuberville enjoys his widest levels of support among voters who are white, older, have less education, and belong to an evangelical congregation,” said David Hughes, an assistant professor of political science and director of AUM Poll. “These trends typify voting today.”
