Luther Strange, Alabama’s recently appointed incumbent U.S. senator, survived Round One of Alabama’s Senate primary, finishing second to make it to a runoff against former state Chief Justice Roy Moore. But a new poll hints that he has quite an uphill climb if he wants to stay in the world’s most exclusive legislative body.

Both Strange and Moore are controversial. In Moore’s case, that has to do with his religious fundamentalism and eagerness to disobey court orders. In Strange’s case, it has to do with his appointment to the Senate by a disgraced former governor whom he had been investigating from his former job as attorney general.
