Seigelman's -D margin of victory in the 1998 AL Governors Race against then sitting Republican Governor Fob James-R. Seigelman-D won the 1998 AL Governors Race by a 15.8 percent margin.

If everyone in AL was required to announce who they voted for... then Jones would win by at least that much in the lowest turnout election in state history.

The difference between yesterday's Fox and Emerson polls was that Fox included cell phones, which means a lot more younger voters. If those young voters turn out in force, then Jones wins a decisive victory. Northam beat the polling average by six points.
