Republican and two-time Alabama chief justice Roy S. Moore regained his lead over Democrat and former U.S. attorney G. Douglas Jones with 49 percent to Jones 45 percent in the last days of the special Senate election campaign to be decided Dec. 12, according to the Big League-Gravis poll conducted Dec. 5 through Dec. 8 with 1,254 likely voters.
Moore has momentum, said Doug Kaplan, the managing partner of Gravis Marketing, the Florida-based company that executed the poll. The poll carries of 2.8 percent margin of error.
We saw the undecideds move from 8 percent to 6 percent and it is reasonable to assume that shy Moore supporters have become more comfortable expressing their support, Kaplan said.
In the previous poll, Jones led Moore 48 percent to 44 percent, he said.

Moore +7-10
If you picked up the August polling, Moore had a 7-point margin over Jones. Basically, I don’t think anything really changed or occurred. It stayed basically in the same pattern. Most Alabama folks were skeptical of the WaPo story when it came out. The more that came out....the more skeptical folks were.
The interesting thing is that it’s the mostly highly spent campaign in Alabama history, with Jones likely getting a three to one edge on donations and money spent. For Jones to lose, it means that the old strategy of dumping on folks and massive publicity ads...won’t work anymore. That might be a shocker for 2018’s election period.
“IMO, Moore will win by double digits.”
If that happens, we’ll see a repeat of election night 2016...
Schlongholm syndrome
Gravis’s earlier polls skewed about ten points to the left. So them having Moore up five is like local pollsters having him up fifteen.
Take nothing for granted. Exude the confidence of being 10 points ahead while campaigning like youre 10 points behind. Vote!
