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.

When the accusers are proven to be liars the numbers will flip.
“CALL OFF THE ELECTION, GOVERNOR!”
HELL NO!!! What do you want, the Establishment stooge, Strange, to replace Moore on the ballot??
Listen and listen good: Alabama voters chose Moore over Strange in the runoff. Strange is as crooked as they come. ALABAMA VOTERS will choose our candidate.
It’s Moore or bust. Deal with it. You don’t live in Alabama, so you have no say.
Fake poll.
It’s clear that you are an establishment concern troll.
I would suggest that you cease it. Now.
I stopped reading right there. If you have been paying attention the so called "serious" allegations are turning out to be NOT true including a very fake high school yearbook note.
This is the second story you posted with your concern trolling I read today.

I would NEVER believe The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) poll, because they would fabricate data to rid themselves of a Southern populist conservative.
Southern conservative males are the new niggers of America.
And dehumanizing Moore is typical cowardly racism. If the left wants to ruin Moore, he is entitled to due process and the rules of evidence. Wjy should a man who has served his State for over 40 years be ruined by what is essentially emotion invoking gossip? If thats the way Moore goes, so go we all. How would you like that gun turned on YOU?
I do not care if Moore has the clap, the People of Alabama should elect him.
Moore should stand tall and campaign as if his hair was on fire. He should hit every City, town and hamlet in Alabama.
I just visited my Facebook page. A friend posted a link from WBRC, the Birmingham Fox affiliate.
Unfortunately, I still struggle at posting links but WBRC has confirmed that Moore was never banned from the Gadsden Mall.
Another lie uncovered.
...The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s (NRSC) poll...
Polls are for dancers.
Are you a fool or a paid troll of the Uniparty ?
Does it even occur to you that the NSRC does not release polls results unless it’s a planned smear job ?
The last time they played this game was in Oct 2016 to get rid of Trump.
Do you ever question or see something using common sense ?
Found nothing referring to the Gadsden Mall on that station’s website.
“Moore 12 points behind Democrat Jones”
Then why are Mitch and the deep staters so worried about him getting elected? Huh?
EVERYONE! Seems to have forgotten to laugh!
;)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Past Republican candidates who were falsely accused of similar actions to what Roy Moore is accused of should be stepping up here to help! BTW, most of these claims against him happened while he was a registered Democrat! This ongoing “political double standard” that goes against registered Republicans, ONLY, must end, asap!
How many would intentionally mislead them just like we do to their conjoined twins, the demonrats?
We know who you are Mitch-rats!
yeah and shrillery was supposed to win big
