Is Alabama's love affair with Donald Trump over?
A new Fox News poll shows former President Barack Obama - a Democrat - has a higher favorability rating than Trump, a Republican in his first term in the White House.
The poll shows Obama with a 52 percent favorability rating in Alabama compared to Trump's 49 percent. Obama had a 45 percent unfavorable rating in the poll; Trump had a 48 percent unfavorable rating.
The numbers are a stark turnaround from each candidate's election totals in the state.
Trump handily won Alabama in the 2016 presidential election with 63 percent of the vote. Obama won 39 percent of the statewide vote in his first race for the White House in 2008 and 38 percent in 2012.
