In reply to the discussion: Doug Jones has won the election, according to A.P. [View all]Princess Turandot
(4,794 posts)83. There was actually only a single poll showing Jones with a large lead (10%) as of 12/10...
it was from FOX; it gave rise to conjecture that they were possibly hoping to affect turnout by how they worked their sample. (As of 12/9, for example, Emerson polling had Moore up by 9.)
Even with that FOX poll, the RCP average of the last 8 polls (dated 11/30-12/10) was Moore +2.2. Without that 10% FOX poll, it was Moore +4.4.
