Alabama Republicans love “The Donald.” The business tycoon and reality TV star is the favorite among GOP voters in the state for their party’s presidential nomination, according to a News-5/Strategy Research Poll.
“Donald Trump is a really serious contender for the nomination of the Republican party right now,” said political consultant Jon Gray of Strategy Research. “A month ago he was a joke.”
30-percent of registered Alabama voters who say they would vote in the Republican primary say they would vote for Trump. That’s twice as many as the next candidate Jeb Bush (15%). Ben Carson and Marco Rubio are tied for third with 11-percent.
Mike Huckabee and Carly Fiorina are the choice of 8-percent of Alabama Republicans, Ted Cruz 7-percent, Scott Walker 3-percent.
Five percent chose “other.” “Undecided” was not an option in the poll.

Here in Alabama the Political Affiliation is divided pretty much along racial lines.
About 90% of the white people are Republican, and about 99% of the blacks are Democrats.
At least thats what it looks like to me.
Maybe Pio can comment on that as he's been here longer than I have.
