Tubbs pulling away!

A recent poll conducted independently of either campaign showed that former Auburn University head football coach Tommy Tuberville has a major lead over former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions in Alabama’s U.S. Senate Republican primary runoff race. Cygnal, a Montgomery-based, nationally respected polling firm, conducted a survey from May 7-10 among 607 likely GOP primary voters. The survey was paid for by Cygnal, which is not involved in the race for either candidate or any outside group. The margin of error was ±3.98%, utilizing a multi-mode methodology of live phones, text messages and email. Yellowhammer News on Tuesday obtained the topline results from the survey. On the all-important ballot test (when respondents were asked who they would vote for if the election were held today), Sessions garnered 31.8%, with 19.4% total specifying they would definitely vote for Sessions. Tuberville, meanwhile, garnered 55.1% of respondents, with 36.5% total saying they would definitely vote for Tuberville. President Donald J. Trump’s opinion of his former attorney general is expected to be a key factor in the runoff, with the president having endorsed Tuberville shortly after the primary. Sessions’ recusal as attorney general from matters related to Russia has been a constant talking point, even as of late. Sessions has utilized op-eds and interviews to defend his actions, while Trump and Tuberville have continued to slam him for it. Cygnal’s survey showed that Tuberville led Sessions 56%-31% among GOP primary voters with a favorable opinion of the president. Among men, 62% chose Tuberville, compared to 29% for Sessions. Sessions’ best voter group in the survey was those age 70+; however, he was still losing that demographic with 38% compared to Tuberville’s 49%. A Cygnal survey, previously reported by Yellowhammer News, that was conducted March 6-8 showed Tuberville at 52% and Sessions at 40%. The U.S. Senate runoff will be held July 14. The Republican nominee will face U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) in November.

Within the next 3 years, Tommy Tuberville, who doesn't even know what Roberts Rules of Order are, will be Alabama's Senior Senator. What a joke. God Help Us.

Sessions is a bigger fool then I thought. He had no chance of winning after his cowardly and incompetent conduct, but he ran anyway.

Sessions could not have possibly voted to represent Alabamians any better than he did. No one could have. Representing Alabamians is the job. He was the best at it.
Being bad at one job =/= being bad at another job.. His voting record is public. Go check it out if it matters to you.
I'd rather trust a guy that represents us and knows exactly what he's doing than a guy who has always been a smooth talker without experience.
I, for one, admire that Sessions did what he thought was the right thing despite being under enormous pressure not to, and knowing he'd take a beating for it. That is the type of principled leadership he provides.
I'm all for Sessions, but as long as either of them win... well, w/e. Damn sure at least it won't be a democrat.

Sentirus in 3....2...1
Jeff is the greatest ever
Anyone with half a brain knew that Sessions was going to get smoked.

Sessions may have pissed all of us off, but we know how he will vote on almost everything.
Tubbs is a chinese loving Chamber of Commerce Rino, open borders lover, cozying up to Trump for now, but will likely come back and bite us in the arse.

Cut and Run is done.

I liked him as a coach, but this guy has "The New Richard Shelby" written all over him.

Good news. Another term for Sessions would be a disaster for the nation.

Ha! That is one poll I hope is true.
Tubs is a wholly owned farming implement of the Alabama agricultural lobby. But we got to first vote ‘em in so we can vote ‘em out!

Jeff’s failed run as AG has infuriated the good folk in the great state of Alabama.

That’s almost a 2:1 lead for a newcomer non-politician vs an ex-US Senator decades long politician
I smell another republican sweep of House and Senate coming in November?

Tubs sole motivation is banking political capital to keep his wife out of jail after her next vehicular manslaughter.
ETA: Also, as far as politics go, I'd bet he was a big fan of McCain.
