Either one would beat Jones handily.

Sen. Doug Jones’ campaign released an internal poll Monday showing that the incumbent Democratic senator and Republican Senate candidate Tommy Tuberville would be in a tight head-to-head battle should Tuberville win next month’s runoff. The poll shows Tuberville slightly edging Jones 47 percent to 44 percent, but the difference is within the poll’s margin of error of 4 percent. The poll was prepared by FM3 Research. The survey of 601 likely November general election voters show a highly competitive race between incumbent Jones and Tuberville. Nine percent are still undecided.

A key factor could be Black voters. In the 2017 special election Doug Jones received 96 percent of the Black voters’ support while Republican nominee Roy Moore received less than four percent of the vote. According to the FM3 Research poll if Jones can pull a repeat performance and somehow manage to receive even 92 percent Black support in November, the race would be dead-even at 46 to 46 percent.
