He may be a pollster, but Frank Luntz isn’t prepared to call today’s special election in Alabama.
Luntz has been working to show the perspective of GOP voters in Alabama during the controversial election; the state will elect a senator today to fill Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ vacated seat. During a recent panel event covered by Vice News, Luntz moderated 12 conservative voters in Alabama as they discussed the allegations against GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore.
On today’s show, Glenn talked with Luntz about how Alabama voters are responding to the national focus on their election and analyzed their reasons for supporting Moore.
Here's an excerpt from the interview.
Glenn: So, Frank tell me what you found in Alabama.
Frank: So, we found a very polarized and extremely excited, tense, passionate electorate that desperately wants to send a message to Washington -- and to my greatest surprise: That message is coming just as hard to the Republican establishment as it is to the Democrats. There is as much criticism of the Republican leadership in Congress as there was their Democratic opponents. And this is among Republicans. That tells me that Alabama is a symptom of what's happening across the country.
Glenn: And what's happening across the country?
Frank: I think that people are just as fed up today as they were one year ago. I think that they're disappointed with the rate of change in Washington -- that the swamp has not been drained. And I think that they're ready to say, 'I've had it and I'm going to vote even more people out in the next election.'
