"SNIP........
Three weeks before election day, two Alabama Senate polls released Tuesday illustrated different pictures of the race between Democrat Doug Jones and Republican Roy Moore.
One poll commissioned by Raycom News Network in Alabama had the race in a statistical tie with Moore holding a 2-point lead while a poll released by Moore-friendly Breitbart News showed him with a 6-point lead.
........
The Raycom poll, conducted Monday, had Moore with 47 percent of the vote, Jones with 45 percent, 5 percent undecided and 3 percent planning to cast write-in votes. Raycom said 3,000 likely voters were surveyed by Mobile-based Strategy Research and that the poll has a margin of error of 2 percent.
When asked "what do you think about the allegations made against Roy Moore," 45% believe all or some of the allegations; 34% do not believe the allegations; and 21% believe some or all of the allegations, but say it has not changed their vote, according to Raycom.

(7,888 posts)We should concentrate on GOTV efforts. Alabama may not be within our grasp this election cycle. Let's show up and vote, imo.

(44,973 posts)If Jones is within 5-8 points on Election Day that would be a good showing. White Alabama has NEVER been on the side of what is morally good or in the best interest of the country. NEVER. I have no idea why anyone would think any different now.
A lot of this is false hope. The South is GOP territory because of a backlash to the Civil Rights movement. Nothing more.
White Alabama hates blacks more than it does pedophiles. Even when the victims are little white Alabama girls. Nothing with these people matters but race. Period.
