In the sampling of 345 likely Republican primary voters, most who’ve made a decision for the presidential primary support Newt Gingrich.
• Undecided: 128 (37.9 percent)
• Newt Gingrich: 81 (24 percent)
• Mitt Romney: 66 (19.5 percent)
• Rick Santorum: 38 (11.2 percent)
• Ron Paul: 25 (7.4 percent)
And more plan to support ousted former chief justice Roy Moore in the nomination for chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.
• Undecided: 199 (59.8 percent)
• Roy Moore: 85 (25.5 percent)
• Charlie Graddick: 34 (10.2 percent)
• Chuck Malone: 15 (4.5 percent)

The primary elections will be held on March 13.
