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.

I live in California. I go up against insurmountable odds when I vote.

I always vote.

Believe me, I know the dynamic you’re addressing, and I am an example every election day.

Wish I could disagree.

These new elections where only Democrats appear on the ballot are a disgrace to the election process.

Fraud in Alabama is a very, very tough thing to do.

Yep, the Leftists at Fox News are ascendant; it’s a shame. And, unfortunately, like with death there is usually no reversal once the leftward drift begins.

This poll is as accurate as those that said Hillary was ahead on the eve of the 2016 election, 98% for Hillary vs. 2% for Trump.

It is dishonest, it’s all about manipulating the average of polls (which is in itself mathematically dishonest, but that doesn’t stop them either). If the average makes it appear to be close, that will mean more eyes watching their breathless return shows tomorrow and perhaps they’ll stick around a little longer watching, driving up ratings and making advertisers a little happier. They need to create an event and keep it going as long as possible before the jig is up. They will drop this poll down the memory hole and you’ll never hear about it again. No recriminations for inaccuracies. The pollster did their [real] job...they might even get a bonus from the network. They don’t want accuracy, they want eyes watching their programs tomorrow.

Fox News Polls have been GOPe/Globalist Shilling the entire cycle.. see here:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2017/senate/al/alabama_senate_special_election_moore_vs_jones-6271.html

In OCTOBER 17, Fox News showed a TIE, everyone else had Moore up between 5 and 22

on 11/16 Fox showed Jones up 8.. by that time 3 polls showed Jones up, but most still showed Moore up and none other than Fox had Jones up anything close to 8

Now Today they are showing Jones up 10, when most polls are showing Moore up between 4 and 9.

Fox News is either cooking their books, or their methodology is completely outside the norm.

No way in hell Moore is going to lose by 10... laughable

See Post 173... FNC has been in the tank for the GOPe/Globalist from day one in this race.. every poll they have published has been an outlier.... Don’t believe a word of it.

"They don’t want accuracy, they want eyes watching their programs tomorrow."

That just might backfire. They are making CNBC more watchable. They have more business news lately.

The real crime here, is that the media is destroying the last remaining bits of its trust. The American public has had it.

The MSM lies in a pool of it’s own urine, afraid of what the public must think of them, and making it worse day by day, while trashing the public for seeing them for exactly who they are.

See 173... FNC has been shilling for the GOPe the entire race... Their polls have all been about playing with the polling averages to make this look like a race

I watch OAN, channel 347 on Direct TV except for a few watchable Fox hosts like Hannity and Dobbs and a few others

And they just teased a panel discussion coming up after commercial — “Could Roy Moore be in trouble?” went the tease. Pure FUD!
