Alabama US Senate poll: Tommy Tuberville has 12-point lead on Doug Jones [View all]

The poll found 54% of respondents favoring Tuberville, a former Auburn head football coach. 42% favored Jones, with some stark differences among different groups.

Tuberville led with most voters over the age of 45, getting about 65% from voters aged 45 to 54 and 62% from voters aged 55 to 64. Jones did his best with voters under the age of 44, getting 49% of the 35 to 44 demographic to Tuberville’s 48%, and 53% of the 25 to 34 demographic, with Tuberville getting 41%.

Among white registered voters, Tuberville led 70% to Jones’ 28%, with 3% undecided. Among Black voters, Jones led 81% to 12%, with 7% undecided. The poll found Tuberville leading with men (55% to 41%) and women (53% to 43%).

In the presidential election, President Donald Trump got the support of just about 57% of respondents, while Democratic nominee Joe Biden, the former vice president, got 37% of the vote. 6% were undecided. The poll found about 62% of those polled approved or strongly approved of Trump’s performance.
