"A new poll shows former state Supreme Court Justice Roy Moore (R) leading Sen. Luther Strange (R) by eight points just days before the Republican primary for the Alabama Senate.
Moore, the favorite on the right, took 54 percent support in a Fox10 News/Strategy Research survey, while the incumbent Strange got 46 percent.
The race has become a proxy war between the conservative grass roots and the establishment.
President Trump will attend a rally for Strange on Friday night in Huntsville as he tries to spark a comeback for the incumbent, who trailed by as many as 18 points in a poll from last month.
Trump has credited the tightening in the race to his backing of Strange, but the Fox10 survey found that only two in 10 Republicans said they were swayed by the presidential endorsement."
