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.

Just like Ms Rodham
Not sure if it’s a problem with your computer, but if you are unsure you just highlight it, right click, copy, and then go to where you want to post it (FR reply), and click paste.
However, I located the link:

The MSM ignored this, but this doesn’t surprise me. One of the people who had talked about him in one of the articles was bashing “right wing nuts” in another article.
An NRSC poll? With Mitch McConnell and Cory Gardner behind it? They’ve already called for Moore’s ouster. I trust these jerks as much as I trust Schumer and Turban Durbin.
“Lighten up, it’s fake.”
Here’s the interesting thing about fake polls. The Left uses them to boost the moral correctness of their narrative or candidate. They are saying, “look, everybody agrees with (or supports) us.” But the impact of the fake poll is to remove the urgency from their supporters to get to the polls and to energize the conservative opposition to go out and vote. This is what I think happened with the Hillary-will-win polls.
You don’t see conservatives issuing fake polls. That’s because conservatives don’t need affirmation from anybody to feel their cause is morally correct. They know moral correctness when they see it.
Years ago the amount of time to vote was extended because Democrats realized that if the weather was bad on the voting day then their side stayed home. But conservatives would stand outside in the rain or snow for hours if necessary. Bad weather on the one voting day meant defeat for the Democrats.
That link has Title still up but video is now blank...
Fake news.
Roy Moore will win on December 12th & he will be seated as a US senator.
This is what they do. They destroy. Wanna bet, that if Moore loses, all the bimbos suddenly go away and you never hear a word from them ever again?
The NRSC is part of the anti-conservative swamp and will even manufacture polls to discourage Moore supporters.
Doesn’t matter if the lies are exposed 2 days after the election, the Democrats/Lie-berals will stoop to any level to gain power. And no one will pay any price for it, except for Moore.
New strategem: They’re not responsible for the crock methodology cuz it’s not their poll. They just leaked it.
ROTF!
If they are serious allegations why were they not addressed 38 years ago?
Why now? We both know why.
(Including The Turtle and Gloria Allred.)
If true it only proves that unlike dim-0s, Republicans wont support someone who they believe to be a dirtbag.
It looks bad and I could maybe believe the women if not for the FACT that dim-0s will lie cheat and steal to win and allred is known to be one of the worst.
Really? From the same guys who just pulled his money? Do away this is as FAKE as the signature! Who conducted the poll Gloria Allred?
Yep, it's as fake as a Lindsey Graham manspread.
RealClearPolitics has Moore ahead by 3.
