A new poll released Friday afternoon by Change Research of the Alabama U.S. Senate special election to be held next Tuesday shows conservative Republican Roy Moore leads liberal Democrat Doug Jones by seven points among likely voters, 51 percent to 44 percent.
Write-in-candidate Lee Busby garnered the support of two percent of poll respondents, while three percent were undecided.
The momentum in the race seems to be moving in Moore’s direction, according to the poll results.
Among the four percent who say they have decided in the last week, voters are moving to Moore over Jones by an almost three to one margin. Sixty-one percent said they are voting for Moore, while only 22 percent said they are voting for Jones ,and 15 percent are voting for the write-in candidate.
advertisement The poll was based on 2,433 interviews conducted online on Tuesday, December 5, making it the most recent measure of voter attitudes in the hotly contested race, which will see precincts open for voting in less than 84 hours.
A poll released by Change Research ten days ago, on November 28, showed Moore with a five point lead. The two point increase for Moore from 49 percent in the earlier poll to 51 percent in the poll released on Friday is significant, as it puts Moore over the critical 50 percent mark.

The excuses they will make!
Moore's campaign needs to run like they're 10 points behind. This *really* needs to be a landslide victory for Moore.
Haley to Mitch: Yertle, where can we buy a few Million black voters? Any chance you can get her hands on a few Semis full of Cigarettes cause we’re gonna need them.
That is likely with overweighting Dems too.
Great news.
Moore will win by 10-12 points.
They’re already prepping their “Alabamians are pedophiles” gurgles.
It is scary how the Democrat vote like lemmings, lock-step and on command.
1. Jones’ ads started containing blatant lies that would be actionable if said about a private citizen. They moved from innuendo to direct statements of “fact”.
2. His campaign mailed a race baiting flier that was so nasty it blew up in his face among African-Americans and white voters.
3. He publicly stated Roy Moore should be in prison.
Moore up by 7? This can’t be, Faux News says the race is neck and neck.
Thank you for the info! #3 I was aware of. But not 1 and 2.
