And all the polls had Hillary Clinton winning the presidency. Who believes polls? Go vote.

Let’s look at the internals of the poll. Likely, another oversampling of Dems that the drive bys like to think actually represents things when it often does not.

Doug Jones is running lots of TV ads and attempting to portray himself as a conservative. Jones looks reasonable in the ads. It is quite a con job.

The Moore camp is doing almost nothing. I’ve seen like one Roy Moore TV ad. I don’t know where the money comes from but the Moore campaign needs to expose Jones for what he is. Instead the Moore camp is priding themselves on not going negative. I don’t think doing nothing and taking the higher ground works in this case for Moore.

It’s an attempt to get Moore to drop out. Boy, the establishment sure is scared of him!

How heavy did they oversample the Dems to get the requested result?

538 predicted Trump would lose no less than 7 times. They also predicted Brazil would win the last World Cup mostly due to the home venue. I do not have confidence in any work from 538.

I don’t know if it is just me, but when some jerk comes out about the allegations against Moore, the conversation moves quickly from the bogus sleaze story on to the “repugnant Christanity” aspect of Moore.

That is how you know this was all phony and lies.

In KY’s race for governor, Bevin was down by five points on Election Day. He won by 9.:-)

Breitbart polling says there is no change and that Moore is still up by 10.

“It is quite a con job.”

The Democrat Party is a con job.

IMHO

Is LESSER OF TWO EVILS a winning strategy in Alabama?

One candidate allegedly made crude, offensive remarks to teen girls.

The other candidate supports murder of babies.

Even if the allegations against Moore are true, is Moore the lesser of two evils?

Is it good strategy to actually and openly compare such issues?

FAKE POLLS

Opinion Savvy poll has Moore up by only 2 but the internals show 54% surveyed have college degree or higher. When vote is divided up by education of respondents, Moore is down 8 points with those who have college degree or higher, up 9 with those who have technical school, up 10 with those with HS diploma, and tied with those with no HS.

The Gravis poll internals break down respondents by education as 3% no HS, 22% HS diploma, 31% some college, 30% Bachelors Degree, and 14% Post Graduate. The same poll breaks down respondents by income as 18% under 30K, 22% as 30-50K, 31% as 50-100K, 12% as 100-50K, 7% as over 100K, (and 10% as ‘uncertain’ of their income!)

Unfortunately, low information voters don’t take the time to read the internals, and the Lamestream Media is counting on that as they crow about Moore going to lose.

Looking at the internals, do you really think this represents the typical AL voter (or the typical voter of any state)?

Pure propaganda.

Polls do not seek to determine the sense of the electorate, they are now tools for influencing how people vote.

Ignore them.

.I have not seen any evidence of any crude, offensive remarks made to anybody.

Asking a girl for a date who doesn't want to date you is neither crude nor offensive until after the third "no, thanks".

Leaving aside the jailbait story, which is probably a lie (I believe the others), we have a 70 year old man who 40 years ago expressed quasi-sexual interest in healthy adult women who were more than ten years younger than he was at the time. That's all.

They’re getting smarter than that nowadays. They oversampled people with college degree or higher (54% in one and 48% in another). Moore highly popular with those with technical school or HS only. See my earlier post for full internals.
