I know polls in deep red states tend to underestimate Republicans, but this would be a pretty devastating swing away from Trump.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Trump won AL by 27.7% in 2016.

[TiltsAreUnderrated]

MoE: 5%

[Roronoa D. Law]

Wouldn't be surprised if Trump got the same % as Ivey.

MoE actually 5.1%
567 registered voters

Other 4%
Don't know 1%

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

We get an AL poll but no MA or KS poll, geezer to see the primaries

[OneJ]

I doubt the swing would be this big, but the Deep South could look relatively interesting this year.

[GlobeSoc]

This scenario would represent a replication of al-gov plus a coronavirus penalty for Trump. Not too implausible

They underestimate margins, but usually the Democratic numbers themselves aren't inflated. A Democrat cracking 40% in AL would be really something, not sure it's possible.

I mean, Maddox cracked 40% in 2018

But a presidential candidate hasn't in 20 years.

Trump won AL by 27.7% in 2016.

Alabama will be one of the five strongest states for Trump this fall... and that result (55 Trump, 41 Biden) exposes the weaknesses of the Trump campaign nationwide. The states in which he is likely to do that well are all electorally-small.

when will people get it through their head that 2020 is not a typical presidential election year? i'm not specifically attacking you, but this whole "this state hasn't had a democratic senator in 70 years", "this state hasn't given Dems 40% in 20 years". Those really have no bearing this year. Crazier things have happened. Just because it hasn't happened in decades doesn't mean it can't happen this year. And much like the KS example, this is the same with AL - people keep ignoring 2018 happened, despite the fact that this election is looking awfully like 2018 on numerous levels.

If Biden somehow holds Trump under 60% in Alabama that would suggest a pretty substantial Biden win nationally.

[Tender Branson]

Can’t wait until Mason-Dixon starts dropping polls from the South after Labor Day ...

I’m weary about university polls, but it’s nonetheless a good trend for Biden.

Obama got 39 and 38 percent and Biden will almost certainly do better with the more reliable bloc of college educated white women. Nothing about Biden hitting 40 is a stretch.

[Obama-Biden Democrat]

Doin' the douggie.

[Crumpets]

Opa!

Ds dont have to win South, the election probably gets closer by election day

Chalk some of this up to MoE, and at least as much to that these so-called undecideds will break heavily Republican, and it is a drop of only a few points from 2016.

Just wishful thinking here, but if Biden does break 40%, does that give ANY realistic hope for Jones?

I don't think so, but it could be within single digits. Biden needs to hit 45% for Jones to have a shot of actually winning, and that's probably impossible unless he's winning by an insane amount in the popular vote.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I just needed a reality check.

Oh well. Hopefully Jones will get picked by Biden for attorney general
