MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Judge Roy Moore, the conservative GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, maintains a solid lead over Democrat Doug Jones, a new poll obtained exclusively by Breitbart News shows. The poll from WT&S Consulting of 11,641 likely voters conducted from November 18 to November 20, with a margin of error of 1.2 percent, has Moore at 46.4 percent—towering six points over Jones, who is stuck down at 40.5 percent—while 13.1 percent are undecided.
The survey includes 60.9 percent Republicans and 39.1 percent Democrats—approximately the margins by which President Donald Trump defeated failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton in Alabama.
“This survey shows Roy Moore tracking down slightly but still holding a 5.9 percent lead,” pollster John Wahl told Breitbart News.
“Undecided had the most significant increase while Doug Jones also gained some support over the last ten days. Polling has been all over the place in this special election for U.S. Senate. I have seen numbers ranging from Roy Moore being ten points up to him being eight points down, and that’s surveys conducted during the same time frame. There have even been polls where Barack Obama had a higher favorable rating than Donald Trump. Clearly, that does not properly represent the voting history we have seen in Alabama’s past elections. My objective with this survey was to get some clarity on where this race actually is. I wanted to survey a massive sampling of registered voters and let them speak for themselves. With 11,641 respondents, I feel we have accomplished that mission.”
Wahl’s firm has done some work for the Moore campaign this election cycle, but before the runoff in the GOP primary where Moore smoked appointed incumbent Sen. Luther Strange to win the nomination by nearly double digits.

Trump just stood up for Moore. He’s the first person to actually mention the horrible Democratic candidate whom Mitch wants in the Senate! Trump is brave!
We think alike. I was starting to wonder if she wants Moore to win to get set for the full assault against Trump.
As more info comes out on the dirty tricks by the Dems and GOPe, undecideds will break sharply towards Roy Moore.
I saw ten points this morning. Did Moore drop today?
The Conservative Treehouse guy has a long article that just destroys this entire story. I recommend it. If the people of Alabama become aware of this; and, then see it is all a pack of lies, he will be the next Senator.
“People of Alabama have seen through this crap!!!
Yup!
I don’t know about pants, but Mitch screwed up this time. God willing, Roy Moore is coming to the Senate to be McConnell’s worst nightmare.
They used Allred to nationalize the campaign, and then she got caught committing forgery.
I sure hope so
Dec. 12, 1917
McConnell is not our friend, but he knows how to campaign. Dirty.
Those 13% are the backwoods church ladies that will either stay home (no lose) or vote Moore behind the curtain.
13% undecided?
Somebody is lying.
I almost want to say “Bannon, you magnificent b@st@rd!”
I got that same poll. Then there are those like my daughter who sounds like she is going to sit this one out. That’s the biggest concern to me, those that won’t vote due to this mess.
I hope this poll is spot on, but I’m wondering about the methodology:
“The survey includes 60.9 percent Republicans and 39.1 percent Democrats—approximately the margins by which President Donald Trump defeated failed 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton in Alabama.”
It’s assuming a local election will duplicate the national election vote. As I said, I hope they get it right, but I wouldn’t feel overly complacent about it yet - even though my gut feeling is Moore will win.
[ A buddy who lives there is pretty confident of the win. Jones came out yesterday in favor of Smart gun legislation and unrestricted abortion. Both resume enhancers in the northeast and kisses of death in Alabama.
Kind of like he wants to lose. ]
Or he knows he is gonna lose and wants to run for president in 2020 as the man who opposed Roy Woore...
I thought I heard something about McTurtle throwing in the towel.
Do you really think Trump will campaign for Moore?
I don’t think that there is a chance in h3ll that he would do that.
But his answer, I’ll tell you, is perfect!
It will keep the media chasing their tails for this whole, long weekend, but will also raise Roy Moore’s poll numbers!
Now the question is whether Trump thought of this response on his own or whether his team expected the question and told him how to answer.
Either way, his response is perfect!
THREE WEEKS LEFT.
