Alabama Senate poll: Jones opens up lead over Moore
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)Democrat Doug Jones has opened up an eight-point lead in the US Senate race in Alabama amid multiple sexual abuse allegations against Republican Roy Moore, according to a new Fox News poll released Thursday.
Jones leads Moore by 50 to 42% among likely voters in the special election to fill the seat left vacant by Jeff Sessions when he became US attorney general, now less than a month away.
Most Republican voters, 78%, still say they plan to cast their ballots for Moore, but a substantial minority -- 13% -- say they are voting for Jones. A broad 91% of Democrats say they're voting for Jones versus only 3% voting for Moore.

Women have made the difference: Jones has opened up a wide 58% to 32% lead among female likely voters. Meanwhile, 54% of women who are registered to vote had an unfavorable view of Moore, up from 39% in October. (Strongly unfavorable views among women also climbed 15 points over the last month.)

What I think is significant is that this is a poll of likely voters. Anyone who hasn't donated a little something to Doug Jones yet please consider doing so. While I'm nowhere near ready to proclaim victory yet, if we can take this seat it would be HUUUUUGE.

They're probably booking all the buses and Access vans now for election day.
Anybody over 18 who can read & write will be brought in to vote.
I just hope the Dems don't stay home.
Fox News wants the Democrats to think they have it safely in the bag, so they won't bother to vote. It worked for Trump, why not pull the same shit for Moore?
