It was taken by a Rino polling group which HUGELY oversampled Dems. A poll using correct sampling came out next day showing Moore up by 6 plus there was another day before had him up by 4.
Alabama is one of the reddest States in America and there is no way the vote for a very vocal proponent of abortion over ANY Republican.

FYI: In the AL primary 480,000 Rs voted. 84,000 Ds.
Richard Baris at PPD says the AL split is something like 52-39 (R/D). You can do the math and see how bogus this poll is.
