This is a new poll out. The last one on Real Clear Politics was from a few days ago. The results are better than the Republican Senate poll which had Jones winning by 12. Looking at the poll, unless I read the data wrong, more Republicans were sampled than Democrats.

As far as the allegations:

But do Alabama voters believe the allegations?  Thirty-eight percent think they are true, while 37 percent don’t.  One in four is unsure (25 percent).   Among Republicans, 13 percent believe the allegations against Moore are true and 19 percent think he should drop out.

Voters rate Jones positively by 20 points (53 percent favorable vs. 33 percent unfavorable), while they give Moore a net negative rating by 7 (43-50 percent).  For comparison, Jeff Sessions is in positive territory (51-40 percent), while incumbent Sen. Luther Strange is viewed negatively (37-54 percent).   

Donald Trump won Alabama by 28 points in 2016.  Now voters there split over the president’s job performance:  52 percent approve vs. 47 percent disapprove.  Ratings for McConnell are far more negative, as just 27 percent approve, while 57 percent disapprove.  Moreover, Republicans are three times as likely to approve of Trump (91 percent) as McConnell (29 percent).

I posted about losing the Oklahoma red seat to a Democrat. Another FReeper posted that 3 Republican seats that were reliable in NH went Democrat. Obama's Presidency serves as a cautionary tale. The Republicans failures and infighting has greatly hurt. They should have been knocking out legislation, promoted their legislation, and went on the offense with all these investigations. Never give the Dem media control of the narrative without adequate pushback. Unfortunately, what we are dealing with is a circular firing squad.

By the way, Strange would lose even worse based on this poll.

The Fox News poll was one of the most biased and unreliable in the last election cycle.

Still, it is possible that Moore could have fallen behind.

So...they are fudging the polls to get Moore to quit. Alabama will decide, and Moore has 3 weeks to prove the establishment has lied again. Ive heard NONE of the accusers have sworn statements to any criminal investigators. I hope Moore stays in the race to the finish....then stomps the crap out of TURDle and breaks his jaw.

About 20% haven’t really made up their mind. More evidence can come out. The other allegations today and (I hear) bombshells tomorrow. Moore is taking a backburner.

Moore needs to reframe this as Alabama vs. the outside meddling media and politicians. Run, like Trump did, as an outisder to both parties. “Dont let the yankees tell us what to do.” That plays.

Only polls I’d believe would be Moore’s internal polling. Wonder what it’s showing.

Why would someone vote for an evil DemonRat over any Republican? I wouldn’t vote for a Democrat dog catcher.

I looked at the pdf. Same poll a month ago before all this had them tied. Unreasonable

Also, they did not release their demographics. They played the cute game of giving percentages.

All of the above a red flag to me.

Breitbart forced the Washington Post to put this story out too soon. If election day was the Tuesday that just passed, Moore would have lost miserably. As the WAPO wanted. Right now Moore has recovery time. There are now several weeks for Moore’s lawyers to bring legal action vs those if they are lying.

The Republican party is made up of 2 extremely opposite groups. One is conservative and the other are democrats.

The Birmingham News has been on a rampage against Judge Roy Moore for many years, especially since their alleged lesbian editor took over as the main editor for the 3 largest newspapers in the state of Alabama and Judge Moore came out against sodomite marriage.

I've met her and she is VERY butch.

Kyle Whitmire is an effete "columnist" there (though he's married) and he's written with more vitriol against Judge Moore than anyone, with the possible exception of John "I forgot I declared bankruptcy and I've got a gay brother" Archibald.

They hate Judge Moore and they have made it clear that they do.

Their jobs are also dependent on pleasing their editor. Those 3 papers are owned by Advance and they have laid off over 40% of their employees in the past few years and now only print 3 days a week.

So you have lesbains and leftists calling the shots and maybe a couple of people who are afraid to speak out in fear of losing their jobs.

But this is a hate campaign of the highest order.

I think the Dems played their hand too soon. We still have almost 4 weeks until the election...not sure why they hit so early - even with early voting, they should have waited at least a couple more weeks.

But now I think things are turning...Mo Brooks came out and SUPPORTED him, and for the MOST IMPORTANT reason, which is to stop the Democrats. And with Brooks on board, that should bring a large number of Republicans.

For Moore to actually win, he needs to turn this election into a referendum on D.C. Republicans - I think it’s doable, but he needs some serious grass roots, as in door-to-door, to pull this off. And if anyone can do it, he can!

Read this: Check out this little fact from TheCipher From "TigerClaws" : Here's that image and a link to its ORIGINAL source : And here’s one more source:

That's the THIRD Spelling of his assistant.

WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ?

Check out this little fact from TheCipher Here’s one more source: And here’s a link to a DIFFERENT SPELLING of that name:


The more I search those different spellings of the assistant's name, the more I'm inclined to believe it was Delbra Adams.
I get results for a Court Specialist at State of Alabama Circuit Clerk's Office Cherokee County.
I also get results as a certified public notary located in Sand Rock, A.
And ... I get results for Delbra Adams in Leesburg , AL. with a lot of A.K.A.s

People in Alabama need to understand this is not a vindication of Moore. This is not a trial. This is a decision. Who is going to vote the way you would like therm to vote in the Senate. That is what matters. Moore will not get a huge amount of money. He will go there and vote for you. But Jones will spend 6 years voting the way you would never want.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Moore may have done the wrong thing. But there is no reason Alabama shouldn’t be heard in the US Senate for 6 years because of what he did. This is not who is the better person. This is who will vote for Alabama.

This poll is just another part of the attack on Roy Moore. I am voting for him no matter what.
