Alabama poll: Moore and Jones tied following scandal
The Hill ^ | 11/10/2017 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 11/10/2017 11:08:17 AM PST by GIdget2004

Embattled Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore is tied with Democrat Doug Jones in a new poll on Friday, one day after accusations surfaced that Moore had inappropriate sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl decades ago.

Moore and Jones are tied at 46 percent in the new poll by Decision Desk and Opinion Savvy, with 82 percent of respondents aware of the new allegations leveled by named accusers in The Washington Post.

In an average of polls, Moore was previously leading Jones by six points. Most polls were taken before the allegations of Moore’s sexual conduct were reported.

The new poll surveyed 515 likely voters and has a margin of error of 4.3 points.

Shocking - it's like they did a poll in one day that showed just exactly what they wanted it to show.

Are you suggesting polls can be faked? That can't be right. Polls are always accurate, just like the polls last years that had President Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 10+% and thus assured to win the Presidential election. [/sarc]

What? They couldn’t manufacture a poll with Jones in the lead?

Last night I was saying to myself.... in a day a two, the idiots in the media will rush out with a poll that shows Jones in the lead.

The DNC/GOPE blueprint isn’t exactly new.

Where’d they poll? The gang-banging areas on Montgomery and Birmingham? This cannot be a poll of likely voters.

This would have given the Democrat the victory if held for another two weeks and released just prior to Thanksgiving for a Dec 12 runoff vote.

The release date in reality, however, indicates it was a Rino run “surprise” to try and replace the Judge. We have the instantaneous McCain, Turtle, and usual suspects on day one. We have the Myth Romney day two. We have the day two poll announcement — all staged.

I want to hear from Alabama voters — will you stick with the Judge?

The Judge’s wife is talking law suit. The locals are saying the Post is offering money for dirt stories by calling people on the phone. Where is the FBI for such interstate attempts?

Democrat operative comes up with a story she has kept secret for 38 years — yeah, Right.

Possibly Dated and DID NOT have sex with 4 teenagers when he was a young man — same number that accused Clinton of Rape.

Only Fox news had this race tied.

3 other polls had Moore’s lead as +5, +8, and the most recent poll +11.

Josef Goebbels style of false propaganda along with RINOS wanting the Judge gone, are responsible for this. Apparently the “victim” has dubious credibility. Credibility the left can associate with. Hope the good folk in Alabama can see through this. It has been a real uphill battle to drain the swamp, when 90% of DC is beyond repair.

Yes, for an average of six points, just like the posted story at the top says. That is hardly “running away with it.”

An average of a 6 point lead is pretty damn good.

Northam’s average on Monday was 3.5

“Should have waited to just after Thanksgiving.”

They couldn’t wait until Thanksgiving because Breitbart scooped the Washington Post hit piece.

I have no idea who did the Moore/AL Senate race poll. I’m just saying a) if it’s a polling outfit like the sample I posted then b) fake polls strike again!

“Shocking - it’s like they did a poll in one day that showed just exactly what they wanted it to show.”

Am I the only one that read the article? It said most of the polls were taken BEFORE the allegations came out.

I'd guess the Moore poll is PHONY.

The people of Alabama will elect Moore which will BLOW MINDS inside the beltway.

Referring to God.. "HIS TRUTH IS MARCHING ON."

When the uniparty/estalishment wants something (Moore’s scalp in this case) it is amazing to watch the well oil machine go thru it’s paces. It just goes to show ypu that if the uniparty wanted a wall it would take only a few months.

The accusations against Judge Moore is meant to destroy and to offer plausibility for the up coming theft of another election by the ruling establishment.
