Birmingham, AL, October 21, 2026 —

A poll indicates U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville is leading Doug Jones by 11 points in Alabama. The summary of the poll does not identify its sponsor, when it was conducted, how many people were surveyed or which political contest it measured.

Separately, a polling firm admitted to fabricating data for various political races. The firm’s name, the races involved and the scope of the fabricated data were not provided. The available information does not establish whether the firm was connected to the poll showing Tuberville ahead of Jones, so the two developments cannot be linked based on the details provided.

In another Alabama development, discussions continue over a potential state lottery that would offset a grocery tax cut. The summary does not specify who is involved in the discussions, the details or timing of any proposed lottery, or the size of the tax cut. It also does not say whether the lottery has been approved or provide a schedule for a decision.

Together, the developments concern polling and policy debate in Alabama, but the available information leaves key details unresolved. No poll methodology or field dates are provided to assess the 11-point result. The admission about fabricated data is not accompanied by information identifying affected races or explaining whether any published results were withdrawn or corrected. On the lottery discussion, no proposal terms or decision status are specified.

Further details about the poll, the firm’s admission and the state lottery proposal were not included in the summary.
