Republican poll: Moore 12 points behind Democrat Jones

The Hill ^ | November 15, 2017 | Lisa Hagen

[Pinkbell]

Alabama GOP nominee Roy Moore is polling 12 points behind his Democratic opponent Doug Jones in the wake of allegations that Moore had initiated a sexual encounter with a minor, according to a poll from the Senate GOP’s campaign arm.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) poll, which was obtained by The Hill, found that Jones was leading Moore by a double-digit margin, 51 to 39 percent. The polling was conducted the day after The Washington Post reported on the allegations.

The survey also found that Moore’s favorability has dropped to 35 percent, compared to an NRSC poll from October that had him at 49 percent. Politico first reported about the poll.

Moore’s polling lead and favorability have declined since the two NRSC polls conducted prior to the allegations. Surveys from early October and early November had the former state Supreme Court chief justice leading by 16 points and 9 points, respectively.

The release of the poll comes days after the NRSC removed its name from a joint fundraising committee that would help fundraise for Moore with other GOP groups ahead of the Dec. 12 special election.

In the days since the allegations, some public polls have found Jones closing the gap with Moore and some other surveys showed him in the lead.

Past polls conducted by the NRSC, before the allegations, found Moore easily leading by double digits.

Moore has repeatedly denied the allegations, saying he's staying in the race. But more Republicans, including leadership, have called on him to withdraw.

[Pinkbell]

Not good, but these are serious allegations, and reality is there are people who will vote for Jones because of them. The question is how many? If this poll is accurate - a lot.

If Jones ends up in the seat, I think there will be regret Sessions was made AG. Sessions was set for life in that seat (not so popular now apparently).

Stop doing what you are doing

This is your thing

We get it

[knighthawk]

Trump’s agenda to MAGA is being flushed down the drain I am afraid.

[Bogie]

Lighten up, it’s fake.

[Red Steel]

LoL. You know NRSC is a poll done that was done by Yertle McConnell.

[wardaddy]

This poll is commissioned by the very folks who are orchestrating Mitch McConnells hit on Moore which is falling apart btw

And the polls showing Moore way ahead are every poll done except this one and the JMC poll

A democrat has only won once statewide in senate or governor in 30 years in Alabama

A blue dog in the 90s

Not since Shelby converted

It won’t happen

Whites vote 88-90%!for the weakassed GOP in BAMA statewide elections and POTUS elections since 2000

I mean cowboy your ass up

[Pinkbell]

Well, we could have even done without the seat had the rest of the GOP Senate supported him, but when you have people in the Senate who oppose the President’s agenda like Collins, Murkowski, McCain, Corker, etc. it’s tough. Obama was lucky to have 60 in the Senate when he came in, and he was lucky that the Dems always march in lock step.

[doug from upland]

People can laugh and dismiss polls but the GOP is in serious jeopardy of losing this seat. CALL OFF THE ELECTION, GOVERNOR!

IT’S A FAKE!
Analyst Says Judge Roy Moore Signature Inside Gloria Allred Accuser’s Yearbook Was FORGED



The sevens in 1977 to the right of “Christmas,” are very different from the sevens in the date (12-22-77) above “Old Hickory House.”

“Look at the two versions of the number “7,” tweeted Wictor.

“”12-22-77” and “Olde Hickory House” were written by a different person,” he added.

Next, [Thomas] Wictor points out “the “R” and “y” in “Roy,”” are not written the same way.

The inflection of the “Y” is more pronounced in Moore’ signature as Chief Justice. The “R” is noticeably longer in the signature of Chief Justice, as well.

“During his legal career, Judge Moore became the first full-time Deputy District Attorney in Etowah County, Alabama, and served in this position from 1977 until 1982. In 1984, Judge Moore undertook private practice of law in Gadsden, Alabama,” states Moore’s bio on his campaign website.

“The accuser to this day calls him the District Attorney. He was NEVER District attorney. He was DEPUTY DA. DDA,” says Wictor. ... "

Check out this little fact from TheCipher

Interesting revelation about the signature in the yearbook and where it probably came from.
Turns out Moore was the judge who ruled against Nelson in her divorce case and the signature is exactly how it was on his ruling - explains the D.A. ( which Nelson has ).
Nelson also said she never had contact with him since the "incident"and failed to mention he was the judge in her divorce case.

“ … Furthermore, after Moore's signature are the initials "D.A.," which Nelson and her attorney say represented were written by Moore because he was district attorney at the time.
But Moore was an assistant district attorney, Jauregui said,
And Moore can't recall ever signing his name with the letters "D.A." after it.
But he had seen it before, Jauregui said, when he was on the bench.

His assistant Delver Adams stamped his signature on papers and then put "D.A." on them, Jauregui said.
That's exactly how the signature appears on the divorce decree that Moore signed, he added. … ”

Here's an excerpt from Rush Limbaugh's Radio Show:

The Swamp Demands Conformity
Nov 15, 2017

...
RUSH: Here’s Mark in Port Townsend — where’s Port Townsend ?
Port Townsend what?

CALLER: That’s a little bit west of Seattle.

RUSH: In Washington.
Okay. Great to have you with us.
How you doing, sir ?

CALLER: I’m doing great, sir.
I hope you’re doing well yourself.

RUSH: I am under siege today, Mark.
I’m under siege.
The Drive-By Media is after me because I dared to point out that Roy Moore used to be a Democrat.

CALLER: That’s why you get paid the big bucks.
I’m envious of you.

RUSH: (laughing).

CALLER: So the comment I wanted to make was that as a retired law enforcement officer, Jeff Sessions —
I’m speaking as a retired law enforcement officer
— Jeff Sessions says he doesn’t see any reason to doubt these girls’ word.
Well, I see a really good reason.
None of these girls have been put under oath and made a sworn statement under penalty of perjury.
And Gloria Allred should be able to tell you
that is the first thing you do when you get a client,
you depose them and you get their statement on the record,
and then you go from there.
And if they’re not willing to make a sworn statement, that sounds really fishy to me.

RUSH: I take it you don’t believe the women
or you just don’t have enough information yet to make a determination ?

CALLER: You don’t have enough information to make a determination,
but speaking as an ex-cop, I find it fishy that nobody has made a sworn statement.
And about that yearbook thing,
you know, when I was in uniform at a certain time of year
you’d get kids walking up to you all the time wanting you to sign their yearbook.
“Hey, Officer Mark, sign my yearbook.”
And I was only a cop.
Can you imagine how politicians get kids wanting —
doesn’t mean you remember all of them.

RUSH: Hang on.
On the yearbook stuff, folks, for those of you who may not be up to speed on this —
and I doubt there are very many of you
— there are allegations that some of these autographs in yearbooks are forged.
There are conservative blog sites claiming to have evidence by virtue of side-by-side comparison
that somebody other than Judge Moore signed some of these things.
This is the first I’ve mentioned that.
I’m just reacting to you bringing up the yearbooks.

You’re upset with Jeff Sessions.
He’s the attorney general, and he is going ahead and acknowledging that
he believes witnesses before anybody’s been put under oath,
and you think that’s a little unprofessional, right ?

CALLER: It sounds to me like he’s just trying to tread carefully.

RUSH: Well, look, this is politics.
It has its own court, and it’s not a court of law.

CALLER: But these girls are making public statements —

RUSH: They are women.
They are women.

CALLER: Okay, they’re making public statements impugning somebody’s honor.
And somebody with responsibility needs to explain to them,
if you’re gonna besmirch somebody, you gotta put it on the record.

RUSH: No, you don’t.
Only in court.
And this is not in court.
This is in politics.

CALLER: I understand it’s politics,
but Gloria Allred should know what the law is.

RUSH: I’m sure she does.
That’s why she’s not in court and is instead on TV.

CALLER: I just want to make that point, Rush.
Thank you.

RUSH: I’m glad you called, Mark.
Folks, I have to tell you,
I’m having a little fun with this.
No, don’t misunderstand here,
but he’s exactly right, but of course that doesn’t —
there’s a whole different inertia and movement now that is taking place in the world of politics,
and there is no room for doubt.
I mean,
the guy did it, you don’t disbelieve the women.
I mean, that’s something you must subscribe to now.
The women don’t lie,
except if you’re Juanita Broaddrick,
then of course…
that’s the point.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: I was having fun with the caller and his obvious consternation
by confusing what happens in politics with what happens in the law,which is ironic,
because the laws are written by these people.
But what happens there
apparently the law doesn’t matter first and foremost.
Find it funny.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Steve in Rochester, Minnesota.
Great to have you with us, sir.
How are you ?

CALLER: Hey, good.
Thanks, Rush. Dittos.
I’ve been listening since 1991.
So I was reading through a Fox News story on the various senators,
Republican senators and their comments about this whole situation,
and I read read ’em one after another; there were many.
And I was thinking as I got most of the way through it,
this sounds a lot like your media montages, vis-a-vis gravitas,
that I often hear on your show.
The similarities were striking in what they said.
And it was an observation that led me to think that
this is really a coordinated attack.
And I think that should be the focus, not the “he said, she said,”
but the fact that
this guy’s being attacked by the establishment, big time.

RUSH: Let me put it to you another way in the form of a question.
Interesting observation, by the way, that you,
in reading and listening to all of the different people opposing Judge Moore,
they’re all saying the same thing, is that your point ?
Just like when Cheney was mentioned as the potential vice presidential nominee for George W. Bush,
about 85 media people all said,
“That’s gravitas.
This is to provide gravitas.”
They all had that word.
You think the same thing’s happening here with the response to Judge Moore ?

CALLER: Yes.
Exactly.

RUSH: Okay.
So do you think —
let me just ask you point-blank
— do you think that, whether he did it or not, he’s being railroaded ?

CALLER: Yes.

RUSH: Interesting.

CALLER: Yep. I think this is a coordinated attack,
and what spurred me to think this
was your comments yesterday about Mitch McConnell attacking Bannon’s choice.
And I thought
how else could you do this ?
Here we are a month away from the election.

RUSH: Let me tell you something.
I don’t think there’s any doubt here.
When Bannon went public and said that
Judge Moore was the first of many candidates they’re gonna support
in order to oust the Republican leadership,
I don’t think there’s any question here that McConnell’s reacting to that.

Let me just ask you this.
Have any of you ever,
do you ever remember Mitch McConnell or the Republican leadership ever going after a Democrat
the way they’re going after — (interruption)
You don’t remember.
You don’t remember McConnell ever going after a Democrat the way they’re going after …

[Trump20162020]

Not good

Yeah, your concern trolling is not.

Not a single independent public poll corroborates this. The Fox 10 poll taken 11/13 has Moore up six.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2017/senate/al/alabama_senate_special_election_moore_vs_jones-6271.html

This is a painfully transparent attempt by the NRSC to force Moore out, which is why media outlets even have this poll to begin with.

[wardaddy]

I heard that today

Last sentence was the money shot

And says it all

They are terrified of Moore

[PreciousLiberty]

“CALL OFF THE ELECTION, GOVERNOR!”

Yep, given how things are playing out the people of Alabama deserve better. The way it is at the moment, Moore’s name will be on the ballot as the Republican no matter what.

Moore would have been great in the Senate, this is really too bad...

[nickedknack]

Phony poll, phony claims by nuts & sluts.

At the bottom of this mountain of sh*t being dumped on Judge Moore is Karl “Turd Blossom” Rove in league with Sen. Yertle and the RAT candidate.

If Jones ends up in the seat, I think there will be regret Sessions was made AG. Sessions was set for life in that seat (not so popular now apparently).

so, if the yearbook "evidence" is FAKE, how serious are your "serious allegations?"

And IF you aren't just a concern troll, why would you jump to the conclusion that the compost and GOPe GLOBALIST usual suspects are telling the truth?

[Cowboy Bob]

The polling was conducted the day after The Washington Post reported on the allegations.

LOL! Interesting timing. They had the results even before most people heard the news.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Hahahahaha! Have you EVER been to Alabama?
