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.

Test ping.
What’s a “test ping”?
Sorry. For some reason my pings weren’t showing up so I just wanted to do a test post/ping to see if it would show up. It did.
The race may be tightening. Monmouth has the race now tied and depending on turnout, going either way -

It is wishful thinking on the part of the Left that Trump voters are going to stay home and let a Democrat take a Senate seat.
They aren’t talking about fraud in a deep Red State!
Are you ever right. I watched their special on Andrew Jackson last night. They used it as bait to get people to watch the crawl that was mostly devoted to bashing Trump and Moore with false sex claims. Vile.
I tend to agree, but since when do we have a sitting republican senator in a state like Alabama publicly state that he didn’t vote for the republican candidate. For him to feel comfortable enough say that makes me wonder if enough patriots will show up and maybe the Repub enthusiasm might not be enough.
BS.... Jones carrying a 45 approval rating in AL? Sorry.. BS.
The methodology or internals are garbage.
He’s an appointed Senator never faced the electorate and lost the Primary to Moore.... He’s a GOPe shill that the GOPe spent 30 million to try to stop Moore in the Primary.... you are reaching thinking anything Strange has to say has any bearing on anything
HONEST politics is an oxymoron. By definition and design, politicians are liars.
And much of it is despicable too, I'll give you that. Especially the way democRATS use it.

I’m talking about Shelby.
I don’t buy your premise.
I don’t accept that Reagan and Trump had to lie to get elected.
They explained things the way they saw them, and I agree with their descriptions of what was going on in both instances.
It seems to me that when we agree that all politics is dishonest, we’re are playing into the idea “everyone does it”, which was exactly Bill Clinton’s line. No Bill, not everyone does it. No Democrats, not every politician took advantage of women around them.
Be careful about signing on to this idea. If you do, you have absolutely no reason to vote for people on our side.
Hey, they’re all a bunch of liars. What difference does it make?
Not buying it.
It makes a big difference.
Boy that’s good.
as a black Alabama voter the election is in the bag and I don’t need to go vote
We couldn’t pry your fingers off the ballot box if we tried, and we’re not trying, I promise you.
You’re going to lose that bet
“But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!” Isaiah 54:17 NLT
Awesome!!
Again the GOPe has spent over $30 Million to stop Moore, why would you be surprised to see any establishment guy continue to attack him?
