Birmingham, AL, October 21, 2026 —
An exclusive poll by Gray Media Alabama and Alabama Daily News shows Republicans holding significant leads in down-ballot statewide races across Alabama, with Republican candidates ahead by more than 20 percentage points in the Birmingham region, according to the summary of the poll’s findings.
The available information does not identify the specific offices or candidates included in the poll, nor does it provide exact statewide margins. It also does not specify when the survey was conducted, how many people were interviewed, which polling organization conducted it, or how respondents were selected. Those details were not provided.
The Birmingham-region figure is reported as a margin of more than 20 percentage points, but no exact result or breakdown by race is available. The summary likewise does not provide results for individual counties or other regions, or indicate whether the poll measured voter preferences among all respondents or a narrower group.
Without those details, the reported findings offer a broad snapshot rather than a full account of the survey’s scope and methodology. The information provided does not establish how the results compare with earlier polling or whether they reflect any change over time.
The poll’s central finding, as described, is that Republicans are leading in Alabama’s down-ballot statewide contests, with a particularly wide reported advantage in the Birmingham region. Further specifics about the races, candidates, survey timing and methods were not included in the information available.
