it says most of the polls were taken BEFORE the allegations, but title of article suggests the 6 pt drop is due to allegations? Get your lies straight before you publish.
Not sure what they got wrong here. The new poll after allegations has the race tied. The average of polls taken before the allegations have Moore up by 6. Thus it seems reasonable to suspect that the new poll being 6 lower than the average may be a reflection of the effect of the allegations....since they are big news right now. This seems to me consistent with how sex scandal accusations play out.
However, the question remains if these accusations "have legs" as they say. Is there going to be more evidence or more accusations or something that keeps this in the news and makes it seem more plausible. If not, I think the Washington Post took their shot too early and Moore will likely recover his lead, if indeed he had lost it, before Dec 12 when the election takes place.
