Fox News Poll: Roy Moore, Doug Jones neck-and-neck in Alabama Senate race
Fox News ^ | October 17, 2017 | Dana Blanton

Posted on 10/17/2017 3:45:08 PM PDT by FourtySeven

Republican Roy Moore, the anti-Republican establishment candidate, is tied at 42 percent...with Democrat Doug Jones in the U.S. Senate race...

A Fox News Poll also finds that among just the 53 percent of Alabama registered voters who are extremely or very interested in the race, Jones has a one-point edge over Moore (46-45 percent).

...

The poll, released Tuesday, shows 42 percent of Moore’s supporters have some reservations about their candidate.  For Jones, that number is 28 percent. 

...

Plus, 21 percent of those in the Jones camp say they’re voting against Moore as opposed to for Jones.  That’s three times the number of Moore supporters who say their vote is based on dislike of Jones (7 percent). 

...

The main reasons Moore supporters give for backing him include party loyalty (41 percent) and his Christian beliefs (20 percent).  Among Jones supporters, it is party loyalty (35 percent) and their belief Moore is extreme (32 percent).  

In a Republican stronghold like Alabama, it helps Jones that Democrats are more likely to back him (85 percent) than Republicans are to support Moore (77 percent).  Independents go for Jones by 33-26 percent (27 percent undecided).  

...

The poll finds 29 percent say Jones is too liberal for Alabama.

On the other hand, 39 percent of voters feel Moore is out of step with Alabama today.  Even 24 percent of Republicans feel that way. 

...

Only 3 in 10 Alabama voters are pleased with the way the federal government is working these days.  Most voters are either angry (22 percent) or dissatisfied (45 percent).  

With the GOP controlling the White House and Congress, the Democrat Jones leads by 18 points (52-34 percent) among voters expressing frustration with Uncle Sam.  Those satisfied with the government break for Moore by 41 points (62-21 percent).

Trump’s guy didn’t win, so Moore is going down.

Accurate poll?
Only ¡YEB! could have beaten Hillary. She won is a landslide.

Or not.

A growing percentage of Americans don’t answer calls from numbers they don’t know. That entire demographic is unsampled.

They can’t know.

Those who support Moore answered “trust the government more”! What’s up with that?

Well --- Republicans run the government and Moore is a Republican. That's how many people see these things and many don't even know what a deep-state is.

I am surprised at the results of this poll and I hope it is a wake-up call for the Moore camp. Moore's positives also can be negatives. I realize there is a chunk out there that got burnt out at Moore's stubbornness on the 10 commandments monument issue when it became hopeless. But these poll results are sobering. If Doug Jones were to somehow win this election it would be a big failure for the Republicans and Trump.

Daron Shaw is the “R” pollster. A Bushie and a fraud who was outed numerous times for anti-Trump bias. In what world is Alabama a close race.

There will be lots of outside $ from the Senate Leadership committee as well I bet. Just like they defeated Christine O’Donnell, ruined her life, they’ll go after Moore.

Federalism is dead, every race is a national race these days.

In 1984 Ronald Reagan carried North Dakota with 64% of the vote to Walter Mondull’s 34%. Yet, almost all of the Republican officer holders starting with Governor Allen I. Olson were defeated, mostly as a result of constant press badgering over fairly minor issues.

I am sure Trump is still very popular in Alabama. That does not mean Moore is. (I hope he wins, I like the man).

Jeff Sessions should have stayed in the Senate.

He was more effective there and we wouldn’t be worrying about some Planned Parenthood loving Democrat even trying to run for the Seat.

In the last Election Jeff Sessions ran unopposed.

Let’s hear all about how the rule of law was not respected by the judge

Then let’s talk about Sheriff Joe

And other places it isn’t because of the ex-Muslim in Chief

POTUS has said he will campaign for Moore and has a meeting booked with him soon. Mike Lee and Rand Paul have endorsed Moore and Moore was well received at the 2017 Voter Values Summit.
Roy Moore is going to pull this off but we will need to encourage voter turnout and get ready for the kitchen sink the Left will be throwing.

Remember Fox is part of the deep state and their polls tend to be wish lists.
