Gallup red-state, blue-state poll paints Alabama purple

MONTGOMERY - Might Alabama, long a red state in national elections and more recently in statewide races, be tracking a little more blue?

A recent Gallup Poll gives credence to that notion, reflecting an almost even split between Democrats and Republicans. In fact, the poll last year shows that more Alabamians identified themselves as Democrats, 49 percent of them, than Republicans, 46 percent.

That might surprise some in a state that has not voted for a Democratic Party candidate for president since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
