Moore has five-to-seven-point lead in three new polls

Two new polls show that Roy Moore still has a sizable lead over Clinton-era U.S. Attorney Doug Jones in the battle for U.S. Senate.

A new Emerson College poll shows that Jones still trails Moore 53 percent to 47 percent despite accusations of sexual impropriety in the national press and the mainstream media. The Emerson poll was conducted between Nov. 25 to Nov. 27 and has a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.

The Emerson methodology includes who is voting for Moore and Jones as well as who voters would likely vote for if the election were today. The Alabama Emerson College poll was conducted 2017 under the Supervision of Auburn University Montgomery Professor Spencer Kimball. The sample consisted of only likely voters

In more bad news for Jones, Change Research is reporting that Jones lead has evaporated and Moore leads Doug Jones in the race for U.S. Senate. Their last poll had Jones up by three points. Now Moore leads Jones 49 percent to 44 percent. They attribute the 8 point change in favor of Moore to energized Republican voters.

If You’re a dem in that state I hope you can get out. If this doesn’t serve as an example
Of a lost cause nothing will.

The surveys screened only people with "land-line" phones.
Generally, that group includes older people and those who are not technologically savvy. Most of the people I know have only cell phones, as do most of the young adults.

So far as I'm concerned, Alabama is Dead to me. I will NEVER set foot there again if the people vote Moore in.
