Roy Moore strategist: Fox News putting out 'fake polls' showing us losing

Roy Moore campaign strategist Dean Young is assuming Fox News of putting out fake polls that show the Alabama Republican losing his December Senate election.

"You get Fox News to put out their fake polls and everybody else can too, but he’s still winning and he’s never been losing because the people of Alabama don’t go for what you’re trying to sell," Young said at a Tuesday press event alongside two other Moore defenders, according to The Washington Post.

A Nov. 16 Fox News poll put Democratic candidate Doug Jones ahead by eight points among likely Alabama voters going into the Dec. 12 election, 50 percent 42 percent, following multiple accusations that Moore sexually harassed or assaulted teenage girls.

Young denied Fox's numbers and noted that Moore was "over six points ahead still" in another poll.

The campaign strategist slammed the "fake media" for its coverage of Moore and singled out The Washington Post, which published the first batch of accusations against Moore's misconduct.
