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.

In his first hour Rush said this poll on polling GOP + 2.
Which means the pollster polled 2% more than RATs in Ala.

Well thank goodness we count votes tomorrow. Then we will know. Moore by 9 is my guess.

Pulled even Dems and GOP

In a state that went Trump by 28%

A state that is 27-28 percent black

Freepers handwriting polls don’t know Deep South

No offense to them honestly

They just don’t get it

I’d love to see the Black vote go for Moore.

I know it’s dreaming, but he will do more for their interests than any Democrat would.

Trump’s policies will help minorities. Moore will support Trump’s policies.

We need him in the Senate.

Tomorrow’s results will be be very entertaining one way or the other.

Reagan wasn't as pure as driven snow and neither is Trump, but I voted for both of them. Great presidents.

But it was always the lesser of two evils, some worse than others, when I chose my candidate. None of them are squeaky clean, like you seem to imply.

I think at 70 years old, having voted in every presidential election since the 60s, I can discern for myself. I don't need your guidance on matters of someone's character or who to vote for. Thanks anyway.

Many Republicans have the same problems as the democRATS, as we are seeing now that Trump has exposed them in the DC swamp. Voting Republican is not always going to get you an honest politician.

Blacks should all vote for Moore. The ones who work their a$$es off because they want to keep their jobs or get better ones. The ones on the dole because only a healthy, growing economy will fund the kind of welfare state they’re depending on.

I just checked the NYT stats for the Alabama 2016 election. Trump won by 27 percentage points, yet this poll gives Republicans only a 2 percentage point spread. Clearly a fraud designed to help Jones.

I'm 66 and that's a two way street bud.

No Reagan and Trump weren't/aren't perfect. No man is. Reagan nor Trump were lying to get elected.

If you wish to think they were, that's fine by me.

I agree with you there.

Good call.

FNC had Hillary is a solid winner.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

I’ve been predicting a 10% margin since last week.

We’re on the same page.

If it doesn’t turn out that way, something is really rotten in Denmark, if you catch my drift.

There would have to be some very questionable things going on, if he doesn’t win.

Where did I tell you who to vote for? A link would be fine.

We know which side Fox is on - the establishment side rather than the side of Americans.

Solution? Assume this is true, so decent people need to make sure we get every single conservative friend and relative to the polls tomorrow. And pray.

The last Fox Poll before the Nov 2016 election failed to show a Trump win in FL,GA,NC,Penn, Wis, Mich, Iowa, Ariz, and Utah. So much for their polls.

Reagan got caught lying about Iran-Contra, if I recall.

There are none so blind than those who will not see.

LOL, you really have a drive to denigrate Reagan don’t you.

Reagan told the truth as he knew it, and he later apologized.

You do know the distinction between a lie and being mistaken, right?
