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).

“Remember, Roy Moore was twice removed from the Chief Justice post for violations of Judicial Code.”

The second time was for opposition to the Supreme Court’s redefining marriage. So the people in Alabama say more power to him. Moore stood right there with Thomas Jefferson, who issued warnings about the Supreme Court.

Once again I fear we may have forgotten Reagan’s rule that you nominate the most conservative candidate who is likely to win.

Nonsense.

Trump supports Moore. Alabama overwhelmingly supports Trump.

Moore wins easy.

“He set himself up above the law.”

He set himself up against the ruling of the Supreme Court. You fine with the Supreme Court redefining marriage The Supreme Court set itself above the Constitution.

Irrelevant. “But he did it first!” is an excuse I learned does not cut ice back when I was around 2 or 3. The rule of law is either respected or it’s not. And if we stop doing it then it’s game over and we can kiss the Republic goodbye.

The enemedia is STILL trying to influence elections with fake polls, even though they've tried this unsuccessfully ad naseum. FNC polls were just as fakely tilted against trump last year as any of the other polls, and FNC's projected electoral map showing Texas and Georgia as either tossups or "lean" Trump were a total joke as well:

Moore is a nut, who must win. We cannot lose the Senate majority or we can forget Trump getting any judicial appointments through.

Moore is nutty.....I heard the same thing about Trump. Maybe nutty is better than arrogant, rich, powerful and narcissistic?

The last time a DemonRat won a Senate race in Alabama was 1992. The man's name: Richard Shelby. Who is now a Republican.

Roy will win this race.

That horse left the barn 214 years ago, and has not been seriously challenged since.

214 years of jurisprudence and stare decesis says what the Supreme court ruled is the law of the land.

In all cases.

And the power of the Federal Government, which ultimately comes through the barrel of a gun, will enforce all these decisions.

You can stand on a corner and preach it’s unconstitutional, along with the Income Tax, until you are blue in the face. But if you violate, you will go to jail...at the barrel of a gun.

Additionally, the Judicial Code of Alabama, which Judge Moore swore to uphold, says he must uphold all Federal law and Federal Court orders.

Pretty much. Let's face it, Fox has one of the worst records when it comes to polling, going back 20 years. Not quite sure why they are peddling this particular fake poll which goes against every other single poll taken. Only thing I can think of, is the Murdoch boys trying to give cover to under pressure GOPe US Senate candidates for 2018, who are facing strong primary challenges.
If that's the case, it will unravel when Roy Moore wins easily in December.

I agree we all should work hard to help elect Moore. Even if one can do just a little, it adds up.
