Fox News Poll: Jones leads Moore by 8 points in Alabama Senate race
Fox News ^ | November 16, 2017 | Dana Blanton

Posted on 11/16/2017 6:45:43 PM PST by Pinkbell

Alabama voters want a candidate who will represent their state with honor -- and they think Doug Jones has strong moral character and Roy Moore doesn’t....   

Jones is up by eight points over Moore among Alabama likely voters, 50 percent vs. 42 percent, in a Fox News Poll conducted Monday through Wednesday evenings.  His lead is outside the poll’s margin of sampling error (±3.5 percentage points).  Nine percent are undecided or plan to vote for someone else.

Alabama voters decide who will fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a December 12 special election.  Allegations of sexual misconduct against Moore broke November 9.  He denies the accusations.  

Support from women is the key to the Democrat’s advantage in this red state, as Jones is their choice by 26 points (58-32 percent).  The gap grows to 49 points among women under age 45 (69-20 percent), and he’s up by 11 among women ages 45 and over (51-40 percent).  Jones even receives 19 percent support from Republican women (to Moore’s 68 percent).  

Moore is preferred among white evangelical Christians by 53 points (73-20 percent), whites by 19 points (56-37 percent), and men by 12 (53-41 percent).  

There’s more party loyalty among Democrats, as 91 percent back Jones compared to Moore’s 78 percent among Republicans.  

Some 30 percent of Moore’s backers say they have some reservations about their candidate, while 19 percent of Jones’s supporters say the same.

The poll, released Thursday, finds a 15-point gap between the number of Alabama voters who think Jones has strong moral character (56 percent) and those who feel that way about Moore (41 percent).  Plus, 85 percent among Democrats think Jones has strong moral character, while just 65 percent of Republicans say the same of Moore.

Fox News is the new CNN clone. Nothing but lies.

Partner, u got that right!

We can not believe anything that comes out on the cable T.V. news outlets anymore. They are all Fake News and Fake Polls by our darling MSM.

It was coming since our darling MSM is so corrupt to the core plus they have aligned themselves as the right arm of the Rat party. Who would have ever thought???

Read this: Check out this little fact from TheCipher From "TigerClaws" : Here's that image and a link to its ORIGINAL source : And here’s one more source:

That's the THIRD Spelling of his assistant.

WHICH ONE IS CORRECT ?

Check out this little fact from TheCipher Here’s one more source: And here’s a link to a DIFFERENT SPELLING of that name:


The more I search those different spellings of the assistant's name, the more I'm inclined to believe it was Delbra Adams.
I get results for a Court Specialist at State of Alabama Circuit Clerk's Office Cherokee County.
I also get results as a certified public notary located in Sand Rock, A.
And ... I get results for Delbra Adams in Leesburg , AL. with a lot of A.K.A.s

People in Alabama need to understand this is not a vindication of Moore. This is not a trial. This is a decision. Who is going to vote the way you would like therm to vote in the Senate. That is what matters. Moore will not get a huge amount of money. He will go there and vote for you. But Jones will spend 6 years voting the way you would never want.

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Moore may have done the wrong thing. But there is no reason Alabama shouldn’t be heard in the US Senate for 6 years because of what he did. This is not who is the better person. This is who will vote for Alabama.

I have huge doubts abut these polls.....everywhere I’ve been the past 4-5 days for happy hour most of the conversations have been about the election and overwhelmingly folks are saying that they hadn’t planned on voting but because of this crap, they will now go vote for Moore. I’m one of those; I’d planned on not voting for the first time since 1971 but I will be voting for Moore. My brother is the most apolitical person ever and he hates Moore but told me today that he’s so pissed at what’s happening that he will also vote and the vote will be for Moore. The WaPo and the GOPe truly overplayed their hands......

This poll is just another part of the attack on Roy Moore. I am voting for him no matter what.

True. My aunt told me yesterday that she’s gotten numerous calls about who she’s voting for her and she always responds that her vote is private and nobody’s business. Also, she and her husband had no plans to go vote but because of all this crap are going to vote for Moore. The folks in Alabama are not being directed in their choice by the WaPo or the GOPe......

Another sweeper looked up the internal party breakdown today on this Fox poll and found that they intentionally over sampled dems causing a 16 point artificial swing in the real numbers. Fake poll....miserable leftist anti-American pig fu*****s conducting the poll.
