6. Exit polls indicate voters split

By ABC NEWS
Dec 12, 2017, 7:01 PM ET

Trump manages only 48-48 percent approval-disapproval among voters in deep-red Alabama. And those who “strongly” disapprove of the president’s work in office outnumber strong approvers by 9 points, 41 percent to 32 percent.

-- Reflecting the party’s built-in advantage in Alabama, more voters in the state want the Republican Party to be in control of the Senate than the Democratic Party, by 51-43 percent ...

Is your screen name a take on the Steely Dan tune?

[babylonsister]

14. Yes and no.

Mostly no. I grew up in a town called Babylon in NY and have sisters. The song inspired this true story to make its way here. A long time ago!

15. Preliminary exit poll results

... Jones is garnering support from more than a quarter of white voters, up by double digits over the 15 percent support Barack Obama received in the 2012 presidential election, the last year exit polls were conducted in the state. White voters make up a majority of Alabama voters and large majority of whites still support Moore - about 7 in 10 in early data - but he is significantly underperforming past Republicans among white groups ...

Almost a quarter of special election voters call themselves liberal, higher than 16 percent in presidential election exit polls in 2012 election and 12 percent in the 2008 election, the two most recent years where data are available ...

White evangelical Christians are the only group showing slight signs of slippage, making up 44 percent of voters compared with 47 percent of the state’s electorate in both 2012 and 2008 ...

By a roughly 20-point margin, more female Alabama voters say allegations of sexual misconduct against Roy Moore true than say they are false ...

16. Alabama voters want GOP-controlled Senate, but view Moore unfavorably

... Forty-nine percent say they would like to see the GOP control the Senate. Slightly less — 44 percent — say they would like to see the Senate under Democratic control.

However, Moore is viewed unfavorably by most Alabama voters, with 55 percent saying they have an unfavorable view of him compared to just 48 percent who say they have an unfavorable view of Jones ...

17. ... Judy Miller, told The Hill that Moore's faith played a huge part in her decision ...

"It's incongruous that he could stand up for the Ten Commandments and for him to do the things that it’s been reported that he’s done," she said ...

Dennis Lyrene, who identifies as a libertarian and typically votes for the GOP, told The Hill, "I'm voting for Doug Jones because Roy Moore is a jerk" ...

Michael Blackmon .. told The Hill that he decided to vote .. for the first time in his life .. because of Trump ... "My vote is for Doug and against Roy Moore and the president" ...

24. Are the faith based idiots ever going to wake up and realize they're being played for chumps?

21. With 1% reporting...

[northoftheborder]

25. Excellent reporting source for election!

[Honeycombe8]

26. Oh, dear. Moore ahead with 48% reporting. 51% Moore/47% Jones. nt

[Honeycombe8]

27. Moore 53% Jones 45.6% with 64% reporting. (but more blue precincts left than red) nt

[Honeycombe8]

28. Moore 50.5% Jones 48.1% with 75% reporting. (but more blue precincts to report than red) It's close.

[Tiggeroshii]

29. I think. Jones is about to take the lead here

In just a minute now...

[MrPurple]

30. If CNN just watched this NYT link, their reporting would be better

NYT was showing that far more Jones votes remain to be counted than Moore leaning areas. CNN is now just mentioning it. If these stats are right, things look good for Jones, though I half want the Republicans to eat the shit sandwich of Senator Roy Albatross.

[Gore1FL]

31. This is starting to look promising!

NYT is predicting a Jones win with a 2% margin! (at this time.)

[woolldog]

33. I'm starting to get worried.

Where can Jones make up the difference???

What if Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Bham and montgomery don't come in as expected??

[Iris]

34. It's really a matter of voter turnout.

And we won't know until we know.

[Roland99]

35. I am seeing moore still up a few percent but 538 has a tie race

[Honeycombe8]

36. Moore 49.7% Jones 48.8% with 81% reporting. Relish this. This is unbelievable for a Dem in AL. nt

[Tiggeroshii]

37. Jones is now winning

49.5 to 49.1

[obamachangetheworld]

44. Hell yes he is!!!! n/t

[Honeycombe8]

38. OMG. Moore 49.4% Jones 49% with 85% reporting. Can Jones pull this off? nt

[humbled_opinion]

39. Jones is WINNING... OMG

We flipped a deep deep deep RED Senate seat BLUE.... anything is possible we gonna ride this wave through 2018 and beyond rid ourselves by impeaching the orange nut, and bring stability back to this nation.

[Honeycombe8]

41. What are you looking at? I don't see Jones ahead. ??? They're tied per NYT & MSNBC.

Here it comes. 86% reporting. Jones 49.2% Moore 49% !!!!!

[Honeycombe8]

40. It's tied! 85% reporting. 49.2% for each of them. nt

[sl8]

42. Jones now leads in counted votes and in predicted remaining votes.

[meow2u3]

[Honeycombe8]

45. MEOW!!!!!

[Mr.Bill]

46. Cue the allegations by the republicans

of dead people, illegal aliens, people being bussed in...

[FailureToCommunicate]

47. Great site! Thanks for posting this tonight.

[sl8]

48. Predicted: Jones has greater than 95% chance of winning. n/t

[Honeycombe8]

49. NYT says the A.P. has said Jones has won. Associated Press? Yippee, anyway!!!!

A Trump stronghold, one of the strongest, has voted Democratic! This is historic for Alabamy!

Jones is 12,000 votes ahead, and votes left in Mobile County, Birmingham's county, & another...two of which are coming in strongly for Jones.

BUT NBC IS NOT CALLING THE RACE.
