Now just a week away from the election, the latest statewide poll of Alabama GOP primary voters shows U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) leading the field for U.S. Senate – with former U.S. Navy SEAL Jared Hudson not far behind.
Down the ballot, Secretary of State Wes Allen showed a commanding edge for Lt. Governor and Katherine Robertson opened up a double-digit lead in the race for Attorney General, according to the poll, however, undecided voters remain the majority in every contest.
The survey, conducted by Remington Research Group from May 5-7, 2026, included 589 likely Republican primary voters .
U.S. Senate
- Barry Moore – 23%
- Jared Hudson – 20%
- Steve Marshall – 16%
- Dale Deas Jr. – 2%
- Seth Burton – 1%
- Morgan Murphy – 1%
- Rodney Walker – 1%
- Undecided – 36%
The Senate numbers tell the story of a race reshaped twice: 1st by President Donald Trump’s “complete and total endorsement” of Moore in late January, and now by Hudson’s grinding climb from outsider to contender.
Moore has paired the President’s support with the heaviest advertising presence of any candidate in the race — roughly $4.77 million in combined campaign and outside spending, anchored by the crypto-aligned super PAC Defend American Jobs.
Hudson, meanwhile, has done what almost no one outside his camp predicted six months ago.
The former U.S. Navy SEAL sat at 7% in last August’s Alabama Poll. He pulled into a three-way statistical tie with Moore and Marshall in late-March and mid-April polling. He has now passed Marshall outright.
Marshall, who led every public poll until the Trump endorsement, has not moved off the mid-teens for three straight months.
As reported earlier today, over the weekend, a Marshall-aligned super PAC rolled out an attack ad targeting Hudson on crime and public safety, which is an untypical escalation not aimed at the front-runner, but rather, the candidate in second place.
Lt. Governor
- Wes Allen – 29%
- John Wahl – 12%
- Rick Pate – 4%
- Nicole Wadsworth – 3%
- Patrick Bishop – 2%
- Stewart Tankersley – 2%
- Dean Odle – 1%
- Undecided – 46%
Allen leads in every congressional district and every media market polled.
That 17-point lead is despite Wahl, former Chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, carries a Trump endorsement of his own. Wahl’s strongest showing comes in the Huntsville-Decatur DMA at 21%.
Attorney General
- Katherine Robertson — 25%
- Jay Mitchell — 14%
- Pamela Casey — 12%
- Undecided — 48%
Mitchell, the former Alabama Supreme Court Justice who stepped down last summer to run, has led every public poll in the race between August 2025 and February 2026, ranging from 9% to 13%, with Robertson, not cracking double digits in any of them, and Blount County District Attorney Pamela Casey even ahead in some. The latest Remington numbers tell a different story.
Robertson, who has served as Steve Marshall’s chief counsel for the last decade, reported a lead in six of seven congressional districts and posts 40% in the Montgomery-Selma DMA.
Trump favorability stands at 84%
According to the poll, President Trump’s favorability among Alabama GOP primary voters sits at 84%, with just 11% unfavorable.
As undecided numbers range from 36% in the U.S. Senate race to nearly half the electorate in the AG and Lt. Governor contests — the next eight days will determine whether any of these races head to a June 16 runoff.
