Alabama poll: Moore surges ahead of Jones 49% to 45% in special Senate election race
Big League Politics ^ | 12/08/2017 | Neil W. McCabe

Republican and two-time Alabama chief justice Roy S. Moore regained his lead over Democrat and former U.S. attorney G. Douglas Jones with 49 percent to Jone’s 45 percent in the last days of the special Senate election campaign to be decided Dec. 12, according to the Big League-Gravis poll conducted Dec. 5 through Dec. 8 with 1,254 likely voters.

“Moore has momentum,” said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based company that executed the poll. The poll carries of 2.8 percent margin of error.

“We saw the undecideds move from 8 percent to 6 percent and it is reasonable to assume that shy Moore supporters have become more comfortable expressing their support,” Kaplan said.

In the previous poll, Jones led Moore 48 percent to 44 percent, he said.

That’s an underwhelming lead. He should be well over 50%.

If the same polling outfit showed a 48%-44% lead for Jones within the last couple of weeks, then the shift here is pretty dramatic.

You AL Patriots, don’t take this poll to heart. Get everyone in your family out to vote on Tuesday and leave nothing to chance. Turnout is everything, and can prove that the Left-wing media and Democrats cannot bring bogus sex charges against all the conservatives they want to defeat next year.

Wonder how heavy they overweighted the Dems on this poll?

Still time for Gloria Allred to pull another boner and put him over 50% ;-)

It’s actually the same polling outfit that had Jones in the lead 5 days ago.

It’s a massive shift.

You gotta love it when a young black man crashes a live TV shot to chant “Roy Moore’s gonna win!” and wave an American flag:

Add 3-5% lead because of phony poll data, so 52-48 win probably

IMO, Moore will win by double digits.

I remember coming home from work the night of November 8th (I should have stayed in the city!) and listening to all the Freeper doom-and-gloomers saying that "all was lost" and that Hillary would be the next president.

Glad I didn't believe you all. By 9:30 that night, I knew that Trump would win even though it would be five more hours before the rest of the world admitted it. What a glorious night that was. Should have stayed in the city. Those folks partied down.

They said President Trump would not mention Roy Moore’s name in Pensacola tonight...he campaigned for him. Well done.
