President Trump jumped into Alabama’s Republican U.S. Senate primary over the weekend with a “complete and total endorsement” of U.S. Rep. Barry Moore.
Trump made that endorsement of Moore (R-Enterprise) over presumptive frontrunner Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and a handful of other candidates, including former U.S. Navy Seal Jared Hudson, cattle farmer Rodney Walker, and former Tuberville staffer Morgan Murphy.
A new statewide poll offers a baseline look at how the battlefield is shaping up as the most powerful endorsement in American politics takes effect across Alabama.
A Remington Research Group survey was conducted January 16-19, 2026, among 775 likely Republican primary voters, with a ±3.5% margin of error. Trump endorsed Moore on the night of Saturday, January 17.
The poll was weighted to match likely 2026 GOP primary turnout demographics.
U.S. Senate
- Steve Marshall — 26%
- Barry Moore — 13%
- Jared Hudson — 10%
- Rodney Walker — 2%
- Morgan Murphy — 1%
- Undecided — 48%
According to the new poll, Alabama Republicans aren’t fully tuned in yet. Nearly half of voters are still undecided — and Moore has just began running advertising that showcases his endorsement from President Trump.
Given the poll began soliciting responses form GOP voters one day before Trump jumped in, the results offer a baseline for all candidates.
In the time since the Saturday night presidential endorsement, Marshall and Hudson have publicly declared they are still in it to win it.
If the Senate numbers seem entirely in flux, the prizefight race for Alabama Attorney General in 2026 is a totally blank slate, according to the poll.
Attorney General
- Jay Mitchell — 9%
- Katherine Robertson — 8%
- Pamela Casey — 8%
Jay Mitchell, former Alabama Supreme Court justice, and Katherine Robertson, AG Marshall’s longtime chief counsel, have duked it out in fundraising since announcing their campaigns.
But with 119 days until the election, it won’t be long until both candidates begin unloading their multi-million-dollar warchests to lock down votes across the state.
Pamela Casey, the Blount County district attorney, remains in the hunt, statistically tied with Robertson, despite a cavernous cash disadvantage among the field.
Primary election day is May 19, 2026.
