Alabama chief judge who rejected gay ‘marriage’ leads Republican poll for governor
MONTGOMERY, Alabama, August 4, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — Despite a concerted effort to oust Alabama’s chief justice for defending natural marriage, a majority of the state’s Republicans still support him, even as their choice for governor in the next election.
Chief Justice Roy Moore had a 58 percent favorable rating in a survey of 600 likely Republican primary voters, Yellow Hammer News reports, a significantly higher number than any of the other potential candidates.
Moore’s unfavorable rating was 29 percent, with another 11 percent saying they had no opinion and 2 percent having not heard of him.
Moore also surpassed the other potential 2018 Republican primary candidates as their choice for governor, with 28 percent saying they would vote for him. Twenty-four percent of Alabama Republicans were undecided, but the next closest contender was Attorney General Luther Strange at 19 percent.
Moore has been a vocal supporter of marriage and Alabama’s marriage protection laws, the state’s 1998 Defense of Marriage Act and the 2006 state constitutional amendment defining marriage, which were approved by a substantial majority (81.2 percent) of Alabama residents and have been the subject of ongoing litigation.
