MOBILE, Ala. — Trump Force One is officially coming to Alabama.

Republican presidential candidate Donald J. Trump will be in Mobile Friday for a campaign rally at The Mobile Civic Center Theater, the Trump campaign confirmed Tuesday afternoon.

Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and tickets are available at TrumpAlabama.eventbrite.com.

According to a poll released last week, Trump is currently lapping the rest of the Republican field in Alabama.

The real estate mogul and reality TV star has the support of 30 percent of likely Republican primary voters. Jeb Bush sits in second with 15 percent, followed by Ben Carson and Marco Rubio at 11 percent a piece. Mike Huckabee and Carly Fiorina are at 8 percent. Ted Cruz is just behind at 7 percent. And Scott Walker, who will also be in the state later this week, currently enjoys support from 3 percent of the primary electorate.

The survey of 3,500 likely Republican primary voters was taken on August 11 and has a margin of error of 2 percent.
