Fox News Poll: Enthused Democrats give Jones lead over Moore in Alabama
Fox News ^ | December 11,2017 | Dana Blanton

Posted on 12/11/2017 8:01:01 AM PST by Hojczyk

Democrat Doug Jones holds a 10-point lead over Republican Roy Moore among likely voters in deep red Alabama.

Greater party loyalty plus higher interest in the election among Democrats combined with more enthusiasm among Jones supporters gives him the advantage in the race to fill the U.S. Senate seat previously held by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

That’s according to a Fox News Poll of Alabama voters conducted Thursday through Sunday using traditional polling techniques, including a list-based probability sample with both landlines and cellphones.

Jones receives 50 percent to Moore’s 40 percent, with 1-in-10 undecided (8 percent) or supporting another candidate (2 percent) -- which could make a difference Tuesday. That’s even truer with such an unconventional election with unconventional candidates.

This is laughable BS. Moore wins this easily on Tuesday.

FauxNews is on an all out antiMoore tangent fit, today!!

They just had a “report” trotting out Sen Shelby, Tim Scott and some other hack, saying how AL deserves better...investigations should start immediately, yada yada...

Then, Ari Fliescher followed up with his absurd take on it, saying “I just don’t believe it’s right for 30 year old men to date teenagers”.

Geez, did the Faux/FakeFoxNews get their talking points directly from the DNC??

Shame on Shelby, Tim Scott and Ari. They’ve sentenced Judge Moore based on accusations, yet turn a blind eye to Menendez and others.

To heck with them.

How could fox have a poll so far off other polls? I noticed on fox this morning, not even the newscasters were mentioning their own poll. Even they were embarrassed to talk about it.

“This poll is absolutely laughable.”

After pollsters’ epic fail in November 2016 and the months before, I’m surprised any of them still are in business. Do they really think anyone takes them seriously?

I hope ALA voters think it over carefully.

Moore might not be the ideal candidate.......but the even worst scenario is to elect a Democrat.

I think any news organization or polling operation that publishes a poll that is outside of margin of error when compared with election results should be prosecuted for election fraud and attempting to influence an election.

All during the campaign last year Fox had Clinton destroying Trump. One America News had the race much closer. A week out from the election Fox still had Clinton winning handily. OAA said it was a tossup. Guess who was right. I wish to hell that Dish Network carried OAN. If they did I would never watch Fox again. OAA is 100% conservative.

See my post#122. A perfect example of what you just stated.

Well, that’s a thought. It could have that effect on some.

I will say that if they’re buying this, they are truly challenged in life.

All that and more. The fact is, this really isn’t about the implicating sexual proclivities of Judge Moore at all. That’s just the foil being played, made out of whole cloth via the fake, lying media. This is about President Trump getting his way in the Senate - or not. The left is playing scorched earth, even willing to sacrifice their own to stop Trump.

It’s so sad to watch FoxNews destroy itself.

I waited almost a full decade to be able to have FoxNews on my television at home. This seriously happened.

Now I don’t pay attention to them at all.

Yep.

Roy more kicks puppies.

Doug Jones doesn’t kick puppies.

Based on this alone, who would you vote for?

Ask yourself, who hangs up on pollsters?
