Roy Moore leads in early 2020 Alabama Senate poll

He is still on the sidelines, but ex-Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore would be the frontrunner in the 2020 Republican Senate primary a little less than a year out from the contest, according to a poll released Tuesday.

The Mason-Dixon poll of 400 registered Alabama voters who identify as Republican showed Moore with 27 percent support, followed by U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, at 18 percent, and the only declared candidate, Republican Congressman Bradley Byrne of Fairhope, at 13 percent. U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Hoover, had 11 percent support while Alabama Senate President Del Marsh had 4 percent and businessman Tim James was sixth at 2 percent. A quarter of those polled were undecided.
