A recent poll conducted in the primary race in the Alabama GOP primary found that Dr. Robert Bentley is tied with Roy Moore in second place. The numbers attributed to Bentley indicate over a 12-point increase. Having kicked his campaign off just over a month ago, Bentley seems poised to keep gaining momentum and eventually overtake Moore.
The poll finds that Bentley’s 12-point increase is the largest of any candidate, notably more than Bradley Byrne who has spent 3x as much money on television advertising.
Some positive forces working for Bentley are:
1) His support among self-identified Republicans, Independents, and Democrats
2) Bentley is alone in second place among independents
I am looking forward to see how this race develops, Bentley seems poised to make a push and possibly win the Republican nod.
