Alabama Poll: Conservative Roy Moore Solidifies Lead over Radical Democrat Doug Jones

MOBILE, Alabama — Judge Roy Moore, the GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate here in Alabama, has rebounded and solidified his lead over radical Democrat Doug Jones with less than two weeks of campaigning to go, a new poll provided exclusively to Breitbart News shows. The poll, conducted by Rick Shaftan of Atlantic Media and Research, shows Moore has picked up five points since the firm’s last survey last week—and that Jones has stagnated exactly where he was before. Moore, now at 48 percent, towers over Jones who is still stuck at 40 percent. The survey’s numbers last week, weighted to an expectation of 27 percent black turnout—an overestimation from what black turnout will likely be—had Moore at 43 percent and Jones at 40 percent.

Additionally, if the survey data is not weighted for turnout, Shaftan wrote in a polling memo to donors obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, Moore’s lead hits well into the double digits.

RCP refuses to put some of these polls into their average.

Change Research and this poll are not included in the average, but RCP is leaving the outdated Gravis poll in the average, solely for the purpose of dragging down the average for Moore.

The other thing that’s getting some attention now is this business of “throwing Judge Moore out of the Senate by the membership. Sen. Cruz was just asked about this on FNC. He said it would be a very, very bad idea for the Senate to attempt to overturn the will of the voters of Alabama, and he didn’t think it would happen.

Enough already, about Alabama! Let them have their damned election already, and then indict Gloria All red for election tampering. Her, you can lock up. Hillary, I want to see her head on a spike in the National Mall with a sign hung around her neck: “At this point, what difference does it make?”

The media/GOPe has to be so perplexed as to why their little hit job hasn’t had the desired effect.

When it comes to politics, THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET.

I’d love to see Moore win and then announce that he’s going to be a Conservative Independent. Make the GOP grovel on all the votes that they need him for. I hope he blows up the entire system and serves as a monkey wrench to both the GOP and DemonRat cogs.

Why does anyone take RCP seriously? They have been weighting polls in liberals’ favor for years now. The Chinese own the site; Breitbart says it’s part of their plan to undermine democracy.

But even with what RCP is showing, there is a clear-cut move that is date driven. The Gravis poll is the oldest and the only one unfavorable to Moore, and as you move toward today, each of their listed polls is ever stronger for Moore. Now the people of Alabama need to be on the lookout for Trash Blacks from MS “dropping over the border” to vote for Jones illegally. Maybe Alabama Troopers need to have roadblocks set up at the various POE’s on election day “checking for drunk drivers!”

I don’t see them trying to throw out Moore as long as Franken is allowed to stay. If both Conyers and Franken stepped down, then I would be worried they would try. Conyers maybe, but I don’t see Franken going anywhere.

I also notice that the nrsc hasn’t published any new polls since the one on Nov 15 which showed Moore down by 12. They must not like what they’re seeing lately.

This is awful for Jones.

Perhaps a 10-fold funding advantage is simply not enough. His people should try a 100-fold funding advantage - that’ll do the trick!

And a friend received a call from the Jones’s campaign asking for her deceased mother.

Her mother passed 10 years ago, and never voted democrat. She had moved to Alabama from the Midwest shortly before she died.

My friend was going to call the County BOE and SOS to report it.

Tells me that lots of shenanigans are planned. If they can get it close.....no telling what they will pull. We do have voter ID here.

Yes, and let us not forget God’s chosen instrument — DARPA Defense Advanced Research Projects Branch.

Both the Internet and GPS started out as DARPA projects. Together, they have repaid the DARPA’s budget 20 times over for the next 50 years!

It used to be a conservative had to get enough votes to allow for cheating. Now a conservative in Alabama has to get enough votes to allow for the blacks being bussed in from Mississippi.

Franken and Conyers are “just the tip” of the iceberg.

More are coming. How can there not be?

Democrats have no morals or ethics to start with. Then they are put into positions of almost unlimited power.

Why should anyone expect them to restrain their sexual appetites? Especially after Clintion’s example?
