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.

They probably believe that Republicans will not turn out because they do not trust Roy Moore.
Yes they do and Fox is getting mocked in the comments section of this article.
So this poll gives Jones a 10 point lead. An Emerson College poll gives Moore a 9 point lead. Someone’s sample size is really screwed up.
The Fox poll is a push poll intended to help the Democrays
I’m sure Democrats hold a 10 point lead in a poll to vote for another Democrat. Lets have others also participate in this poll in balanced numbers.
People have lost trust in pollsters, just as they have lost trust in the media and many institutions of government. I believe people lie to pollsters in greater numbers, and the polling error is larger the more localized one gets. I know I lie to pollsters when they call.
What is it about Fox News that they hate conservatives so much?
I would wager this election is going to be full of fraud on RAT side.
Fox RINOS run their polls.
I think lying to pollsters finally caught on in the ‘14 midterms when NOBODY called us taking the Senate except the Des Moines Register - forget the lady’s name, she rocks - and I haven’t seen a publicized poll from them since.
People, when will we learn that polls are tools for influencing election outcomes?

And that Fox News is a propaganda organ for the Cheap Labor Express, same as the Wall Street Journal.
Everything they do is to protect the demographic changes they have made to the country against the will of the citizens.
They have spent decades convincing US that flooding the country with foreigners was desirable and inevitable and surrendering the rule of law is the only solution to the illegal alien inundation.
Well, Trump had better hope that doesn’t happen.
WE better hope this doesn’t happen!!! There is a reason why Dims/establishment are fighting so hard, for this seat.
The balance of the Senate, is at stake.
If they win, WE ALL lose.
Bill Mitchell says they used R+2 yet Trump won AL +28.
So sad we’re losing FOX too.
Agreed...dimwits are just that...and lazy too!
No they won’t, they are getting exactly what they asked for and paid for.
And, that’s all I’ve got say on that subject!
There is another poll out today that has Moore up by 9 points, so someone is way off and I suspect its Fox. Most other polls have Moore up by 5 or 6 points.
Yeah, they were so right during the presidential election. Not.
Yes they will if they don’t want to lose viewers and their credibility.
