Roy Moore resurrected: He tops GOP field in Alabama Senate poll

Roy Moore, defeated in a 2017 special election by Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, tops the field of Republican contenders for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, according to a fresh poll that is otherwise discouraging for Jones.

The Mason-Dixon survey, conducted April 9–11 and released Tuesday, showed that only 40% of registered voters would vote to reelect Jones, even though 45% of them approve of the job he is doing in Washington. But, in a bright spot for the incumbent Democrat, Moore, a flawed candidate who lost to Jones in deep red Alabama amid multiple allegations of sexual misconduct from decades ago, might be his opponent.
