Yesterday we noted PPP's numbers in the gubernatorial primaries in Alabama, where Rep. Artur Davis led the Democrats while Republicans had a wide-open race. Today's general election numbers (1,270 RVs, 3/27-29, MoE +/- 2.8%) show that regardless of who emerges, Republicans appear to be in the driver's seat to hold the post.

Former state Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore is the most well-known of the candidates, but runs the weakest in the GOP field. Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks (D) performs better than Davis, particularly among independent voters. But he, too, trails all potential GOP foes.
