Washington Post Poll of Alabama Senate Race Oversamples Democrats
Breitbart.com ^ | 12/2/2017 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Posted on 12/02/2017 8:00:58 PM PST by TexasGurl24

A new Washington Post poll of likely voters in the Alabama U.S. Senate race that shows liberal Democrat Doug Jones with a three-point lead over conservative Republican Roy Moore, 50 percent to 47 percent, was based on a methodology that includes an oversampling of Democrat voters. The sample of 739 likely voters upon which the poll was based included 38 percent who self-identified as Republicans, 31 percent who identified as Democrats, and 27 percent who identified as independents. (See question 14 in the poll methodology here.) This sample, which includes only seven percent more Republicans than Democrats (R +7), is not reflective of how Alabamians have voted in recent elections.

Judge Moore will win easily if his voters turn out. Compost poll is garbage.

The poll from The Washington Post is literally the only pollster showing Jones leading, when all other pollsters have Moore with real momentum (JMC Analytics went from +4 Jones to +5 Moore, etc.)

Also of note if that this is the only poll from The Washington Post the entire race, so it can't be compared to previous ones. It's also suspicious that the national newspaper that has been shilling Doug Jones the hardest, and started the Moore accusation pile-on, suddenly rides to his rescue when even people like Nate Silver were starting to say it was looking real bad for Jones.

Though I guess Fox News will be there to "corroborate" it shortly, as they've always had the best numbers for Jones (+8 last time, a tie after the run-off, when everyone else was giving big leads to Moore.) Probably with another +6R poll.

"... it appears to contain a sample of Alabama likely voters in which 51 percent voted for Donald Trump and 48 percent voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election."

Sounds legit.

CLAIMS AGAINST MOORE DEBUNKED

Never Trumpers and drive by media TV and radio talk hosts were having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14* years old. For her accusations are the juiciest. All of which Moore denied. Because they hinted at and Moore was actually accused by a group of being a “Pedafile” which later includes Illinois GOP Bruce Rauner governor who did so on a early am Ray and John WLS news show 11/28 who also took a swipe at talk show host Joe Walsh.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603749/posts *claim disproved see links below.
A result after the above being gleefully reported and dwelled on by CNN and the media alphabet soup as well as never Trumpers in a touchy feel-ly manner. As if it came off of a never given or made police report which requires a sworn complaint.

All the accusations against Moore originate and are quoted from media sources which support positions like : Abortion, gender sex reclassification, gay marriage, and nullification of religious influence on culture. All of which are solidly opposed by candidate Roy Moore.

Despite that fact and that it has been uncovered that his accusers are working for the Perversion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated. The drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this. but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican” then when examined turns out to be questionable.

Worse yet even though these accusations have been solidly refuted. The general public relying on certain venues including talk show hosts are not being told what’s been uncovered. .

Bill Cunningham on his Sunday 9 to 12 pm show 11/19 who consistently goes off half cocked never brings up the forged yearbook or the backgrounds on Moore’s accusers but announces he thinks Moore was attracted to teens of consenting age and didn’t do anything illegal.
Ben ? Shapiro substituting for Mark Levine on 11/22 proclaimed he wouldn’t vote for either if he was voting on the Alabama race even though he admitted he knew about the forgery but dismissed it. .

Here is a background on 5 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14*. But was actually 16 at the time ?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts Restaurant rape attempt accusation disproven http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3607731/posts
Alred charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts link shows someone named Roy or Ray signed it.Then Moore’s last name was added to it in a blue colored ink. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appeared with his signature in that year book. Because she would verify his signature Moore / DA /date only on his court rulings .Which is what that forgery was copied from .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3608349/posts
It’s been reported that CNN reproduced and showed the page in question in one colored ink; black.

Disciplined ex Gasden police officer Lt Gary accusation Moore was banned from local shopping center for skirt chasing cheerleaders and other charges were politically motivated and are lies.

Yep and RCP only dropped the weeks old Gravis poll when this one dropped. RCP also doesn’t include 3 other polls that show Moore up. Its clear that RCP is artificially weighing the average with bad polls.

Of COURSE they oversampled the RATS. It's what the Bezos/WaPo does.


Judge Moore Ping!

Want on or off this ping list? Just drop me a FReep mail.

Nice roundup of the accusers and Judge Moore's responses.

Follow Judge Moore on Twitter.

No doubt in my mind that this poll is fake news. Brian Ross probably had some input.

“The poll has to oversample D voters because they over-vote so much”

They are “counting” the Black “motor voters” driving in from Mississippi to “help” Jones.

All this will do is move more votes to Moore to save him from a phantom attack. “Wile E Coyote please call your office.”
