Alabama poll: Moore and Jones tied following scandal

Embattled Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore is tied with Democrat Doug Jones in a new poll on Friday, one day after accusations surfaced that Moore had inappropriate sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl decades ago.

Moore and Jones are tied at 46 percent in the new poll by Decision Desk and Opinion Savvy, with 82 percent of respondents aware of the new allegations leveled by named accusers in The Washington Post.

In RealClearPolitics's average of polls, which does not yet include the new poll, Moore is leading by 6 points. All of those polls were taken before the allegations of Moore’s sexual conduct were reported.

Since the lion's share of respondents were aware of the allegations, it's likely that the new revelations are in part responsible for tightening the race.

Now some are wanting the accusers to take a polygraph test, good, give Moore a polygraph test also. Maybe Moore forgot about the Ten Commandments when he was working the young ladies at the courthouse. I think it is true.

We have gone so far down the well of legitimatized insanity in this country with regards to politics that one side believes the other side will bring about the end of the world and life as they know it. To the point they will happily vote for Moore in order to remain in control.
