On the same morning a poll said Roy Moore has his biggest lead in weeks, another poll gave Doug Jones his biggest lead of the Alabama Senate general election campaign.

Do not believe this poll. Fox news wants Jones voters to stay home and wants to motivate Moore voters to vote.
GOTV!! 
It shows that the same polling group using the same methods had almost the same result the last time it polled in November, no surging, in fact Jones is up a bit.

The problem for pollsters is to determine who is a "likely voter" in such an unusual election. This is the most interesting point IMO
A subtle but potentially noteworthy finding is Alabama voters who were interviewed on cellphones are +30 for Jones, while the race is roughly even among all others. The fact that traditional, high-quality probability samples, like the Fox News Poll, include both landline and cellphone numbers may be why these polls show Jones doing relatively well compared to automated or blended polls.
