Alabama voters want a candidate who will represent their state with honor -- and they think Doug Jones has strong moral character and Roy Moore doesnt....
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 polls 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 Democrats 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 hes up by 11 among women ages 45 and over (51-40 percent). Jones even receives 19 percent support from Republican women (to Moores 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).
Theres more party loyalty among Democrats, as 91 percent back Jones compared to Moores 78 percent among Republicans.
Some 30 percent of Moores backers say they have some reservations about their candidate, while 19 percent of Joness 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.

I think the Bradley effect is in play - people will lie to pollsters lol.
I also think this was prematurely played as were the Allred + DNC attacks on Trump before the election; in that case Hillary needed to deflect from Comey after first getting tossed into the van like a side of beef after her seizure on 9/11. In this case, Brazile's book came out along with lots of speculation about Mueller's activities + Uranium One.
It looks like tomorrow will be filled with revelations about
Adam Schiff and his attraction to young boy(s) courtesy of his California Senate opponent (DiFi's seat)

There is a 10% bias in every poll due to people who don’t want to admit supporting someone that is being accused of such acts.
I suspect he is still leading by 2%

Now anyone who posts a poll from Fox News (a station a good deal of FReepers watch) is a jerk?

"And Hillary led President Trump by more than that....in 20 polls."
To admit to not supporting felony clinton in the election was to risk constant abuse from the lunatic left.

Moore needs to reframe this as Alabama vs. the outside meddling media and politicians. Run, like Trump did, as an outisder to both parties. Dont let the yankees tell us what to do. That plays.That works when you control the outflow of information. Twitter was the most important news platform for Trump during his campaign.

“Breitbart forced the Washington Post to put this story out too soon. If election day was the Tuesday that just passed, Moore would have lost miserably. As the WAPO wanted. Right now Moore has recovery time. There are now several weeks for Moores lawyers to bring legal action vs those if they are lying.”
just like the trigger was pulled prematurely on the trump locker room tapes ...

Hmmmm .... Gloria Allred is trying to speed away from the scene of this accident:
I Havent Asked Beverly Young Nelson If She Saw Roy Moore Sign Her Yearbook
Partial transcript as follows:
TUR: Does your client, Beverly Young Nelson, remember him signing it?
ALLRED: She remembers well, she remembers being with him.
It was on the counter. She alleges that he took it, that he signed it and she was thrilled that he had signed it, because, as far as she knew, he was a D.A. and that was an important position.
TUR: So she saw him sign it?
ALLRED: I dont believe at the time she had a clue whether he was an assistant D.A. or a D.A., but he signed it, she took it. As far as she knows, I mean, theres no reason for her to think its anybodys but his signature.
TUR: But did she see him sign it?
ALLRED: You know, I dont
I havent asked her if she saw him, but we did describe what happened that evening in question. What
she alleges was that she put it on the counter; that I think she asked to sign or that he did sign it. Thats all.
TUR: I ask this, because it seems youre not 100% sure that it is his signature, and if youre not 100% sure that it is his signature, why would you show it at a press conference?
ALLRED: Well, why would you know, why does anybody doubt that it is his signature?

Thanks for the link.
I don’t see the overall party ID breakdown, nor an overall men vs women voters polled in the internals that the Fox pollsters provided to the public.
When they do this, it’s a red flag meaning they are trying to hide it.
To: Pinkbell
Check the internals on the poll and you will see that it is over represented with Democrats.
You sound like all of the naysayers that were around when Trump was running, putting out their 'doom and gloom' polls.

Yes, we have seen these posters while Trump was running, pretending to be concerned about Trump losing, but constantly posting false polls.

Why don’t you check on the poll before you start with your doom and gloom act?
