NRSC poll: Moore trails Jones by 12
By Eric Velasco

Republican Roy Moore is trailing Democrat Doug Jones by 12 points in the Alabama special Senate election, according to a poll conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee after five women accused Moore of pursuing them as teenagers.

Jones led Moore 51 to 39 percent, according to the survey taken Sunday and Monday. The NRSC withdrew its support for Moore after the Washington Post published the first allegations against Moore on Thursday, and the group’s chairman, Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) said Moore should be expelled from the Senate if he wins on Dec. 12.

The poll shows a dramatic turn against Moore in Alabama: In early October, a committee poll had him leading by 16 points, and a survey early this month had him up by 9 points. Moore’s favorability numbers also tanked, from 49 percent in early October to 35 percent in the NRSC’s latest poll.

I know, one feels like tossing this poll at first blush.

Ruh-roh.

Is this the same committee that wants Roy to drop out? Funny they came up with polling the opposite of others coming out with him even or up.

The good citizens of Alabama,  like good citizens elsewhere, know that character matters.   

What the citizens of Alabama deserve is the choice of a conservative with character.  Moore needs to step down.

Riiiight. Like you can believe any damn thing coming out of Mitch McConnell's organ.

Republicans and rats are both willing to sell their souls and dignity to win at any costs...let's see if the Republicans are still dumber than the rats.  The rats don't support pedophiles if they are going to lose.

Really? Looks like the Rats and some GOPers are circling the wagons and supporting Menendez pretty well.

Yeah?  I guess that crap makes Moore's crap more palatable for some.

The fervent belief that two wrongs make a right is a sine qua non of politics.

I don't doubt this has hurt Moore's numbers.  However, I'm more inclined to believe the national attention and repeated polling is wearing thin.  Many are either not responding or telling pollsters what they want to hear, so they'll be left alone and not thought of supporting someone who may be guilty of wrongdoing.  In the meantime, they go on about their lives and will make up their mind in December.

Nah... These are rednecks... Salt of the earth... You are right, but what's approaching is an 'Oh, hell no!' moment... And when it comes, there ain't a damn thing the MSM, the DNC, and the RNC is going to do to change their minds.

I'd argue booze is never a waste of money, unless you get talked into buying Speyburn 10 Year, like I did.  Still good enough to make a rusty nail if you're generous with the Drambuie.

Mebbe he's up.
Mebbe he's down.
In any case...
We be findin' out on December 12th!

The state store here in Pennsy just brought in some new scotch brands, including that stuff.   I know little of its reputation, other than it's really cheap for a single malt.   Another one that's new to the Commonwealth is Craigellaichie (sp?).    That tipple is truly excellent for the price - it reminds me of Mortlach with its "meaty" undertones.

But Roy Moore is God's candidate.
