New Gray TV/AL Daily News Poll finds Trump endorsement not as powerful in Ala. primaries as it once was.
39% said it would make them more likely, but that’s down from 58% who said the same back in August. The number of GOP voters who said it makes no difference is 42% now, up from 30% last August.
“That’s a huge drop,” says Alabama Daily News publisher Todd Stacy. “You gotta wonder what really happened in the mind of the electorate. I will say this--I think it’s pretty evident in the mind of the electorate, so much of the Republican Party loves Trump. That doesn’t always transmit over to his endorsed candidates.
Another surprise in these results may be how these voters feel about expanding gambling in Alabama. Our poll found 44% of Republican voters would rather see the state legalize a lottery, sports betting and casinos, similar to a plan under consideration now in the state senate. 21% of these voters favored a lottery only, similar to a plan the under consideration in the house, while 26% oppose any expansion of gambling.The state should legalize and tax a lottery, sports betting, and casinos - 43.
Gas prices are hitting all of us in our wallets, but do GOP primary voters wish the state legislature in 2019 wouldn’t have passed a gas tax increase to fund road and bridge improvements? No, but it’s close. 43% of the voters we surveyed said it was necessary to improve Alabama’s infrastructure, while 41% said the gas tax was high enough and shouldn’t have been raised any further.
On the question of whether to delay implementing the part of the Alabama Literacy Act that would force schools to hold back 3rd graders who can’t read at grade level by the end of that school year, a majority of Alabama Republican voters oppose a delay, by a 57% to 26% margin.
