According to a new poll, Rep. Mo Brooks tops Katie Britt in the race for the Republican Senate nomination in Alabama, reported the Washington Examiner. However, Brooks’ lead isn’t unbeatable. Britt has a chance to catch up.

Public Opinion Strategies, a GOP firm, conducted the poll mainly to research attitudes toward energy policy among Alabama’s voters. Brooks led Britt 41% to 11%; however, 39% of respondents were undecided.

Brooks, backed by his endorsement from Donald Trump, garnered 18% of respondents stating they would “probably” vote for him versus 23% who said their vote for Brooks was “definite.” This, along with the number of undecided respondents, leaves “room to grow” for Britt.

Trailing Britt in the survey were businesswoman Jessica Taylor with 7% and former ambassador Lynda Blanchard with 3%.

The poll of 600 likely voters was conducted from August 24–September 2. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.56 percentage points.

Alabama’s primary is scheduled for May 24, with a runoff in June if necessary.
