53.9% Romney
35.5% Obama
10.6% Undecided

This year, the Aug. 13-16 poll of 452 registered voters in Alabama showed Romney with big leads among most voter groups, including voters over 35 years old, those with at least a high school education, whites, both genders, people who went to church at least once a week, and those who earn at least $25,000 a year.

In August 2008, Republican nominee John McCain was favored 47-34 over Obama among Alabama voters, with 19 percent undecided. McCain went on to win the state 60-39.

Whoops, forgot something from the article:

So, adjusted for the Bradley-effect that we saw already in the 2008 Alabama polls, Obama will end up with 10% again this year.

When you look at the numbers, the margin is actually a few points less Republican than in 2008.

The undecideds in AL will probably break 7-4 for Romney.

But as you point out in your own post, this poll looks better for Romney than a poll taken at this same time in '08 by the same agency.


In August 2008, Republican nominee John McCain was favored 47-34 over Obama among Alabama voters, with 19 percent undecided. McCain went on to win the state 60-39.

Of course, not that it matters for the results in November, but just saying.

Surprised that the "Good Ole Boys" are so high on Romney.
