New Roy Moore Poll Numbers Have to Be Scaring Democrats
libertyrednews.com ^ | 11/17/17

Alabama’s Republican Senate candidate and former Chief Justice Roy Moore has come under increasingly heavy fire in recent weeks after accusations of sexual misconduct on his part with teenage girls that is alleged to have occurred roughly 40 years ago.

Moore has steadfastly and vehemently denied the allegations against him, even as the mainstream media, Democrats and even many Republicans have seemingly already convicted him in the court of public opinion, demanding he step aside from the special senatorial election.

Yet, despite the flurry of unverifiable attacks on Moore’s reputation and credibility — or perhaps because of them — Moore is still leading his Democrat opponent Doug Jones in a major statewide poll, according to The Daily Caller.

Rather than see his support plummet to near zero, as the forces aligned against him seemed to think would happen, Moore still enjoys a six-point lead in a broad survey of 3,000 likely voters in the state’s special election. And that has to be scaring Democrats.

6% lead given the amount of negative press seems like at least a 10% victory on special election day.

Not just Democrats, but also undocumented Democrats in R jerseys.
Swamp monsters.

I’d be a lot more comfortable if he were leading by 10%.

I’d imagine polling irregularities exist in Alabama too, and it would be best to have a decent margin to avoid problems.

I honestly thing this is the most important election since the Trump/Clinton election, and the Left isn’t going to leave a stone unturned in this effort to take out Moore and blame it on him and a rejection of Trump policy.

Their big problem is that too many voters have seen this type of attack too many times in the past. It has lost the effectiveness it once enjoyed.

Their other problem is the people of Alabama. They are not the backwood Hicks that the elites think they are, nor are they stupid. Roy Moore has been a figure long enough they know him well enough to see through the attacks.

As the song goes..m sweet home Alabama...

There is a silver lining in this: those thinking of primarying the swamp are reviewing the weight and scope of their own dirty laundry, leaving the squeaky clean a big advantage.

We WANT squeaky, and this is the first time in history they will be actively favored in the mid-terms.

The swamp (including swamp general McConnell) are terrified at the prospect of outspoken senator Moore taking oath of office.

They are doing robocalls offering women $5-7,000 to come forward with allegations against Moore. It appears that they may have paid off a couple already through the calls.

I believe those calls were satirical. Someone was making a point out of State Yankees were interfering.
