Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore holds a 10-point lead over his Democratic opponent, according to a new poll.

The Emerson College survey found that Moore has the support of 55 percent of the Alabama voters polled, compared to 45 percent for the Democratic nominee, Doug Jones.

The poll was conducted from Nov. 9 to Nov. 11, after The Washington Post published its report in which a woman accused Moore of initiating sexual contact with her in 1979, when she was 14 and he was 32.

The poll does show improvement for Jones from the last survey conducted in September. That survey gave Moore a 22-point advantage.

Sickening.

Just sickening.

[guillaumeb]

1. The advantage has been cut in half. With 1 month to go. eom

[Zambero]

2. Another poll has Jones up by +4

The cookies aren't quite baked yet, and the accompanying train wreck continues to unfold.

[ClarendonDem]

3. Roy Moore, despite being an awful, awful person

Will be the next senator from Alabama (unless he withdraws). Too many Alabama voters either don't care about these allegations or disbelieve them.

[Orrex]

7. This is my sense as well.

A Democrat with an overdue library book would be run out of the race, but a Republican rapist can easily win an election (as we've seen repeatedly).

4. win or lose, donate to Jones

and make a statement. It's not my state, but it is my country.

[mountain grammy]

5. Pathetic and disgusting

[Pugster]

6. The same pollster had Moore up by 22% in the previous poll

That's a 12% drop.

8. alabama race,,

you have to realize this is jeff sessions seat he won his last election in 2014 the democrats did not even offer a candidate to face him and he was unopposed winning 97% of the vote...

[billh58]

9. Moore supporters

are the very same people who thought it was perfectly acceptable for the Orange Anus-Mouth to grab women by the pussy and walk into a teen beauty pageant dressing room where young girls were undressed for his viewing pleasure.

There is a segment of our society which is very, very sick, and they vote for equally sick Republicans.

[Norbert]

22. And the same people that went apeshit about a trans sharing a restroom with their daughter

.

[Codeine]

10. The seat is his.

So we use it to underscore that the repukes are the party of pedophiles. It's not like we were ever going to win the damned seat anyway, so enjoy what we got.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Seems so. Well, he'll be theirs to deal with for years. nt

[mpcamb]

17. I think this has yet to play out.

[Honeycombe8]

18. I don't know what they're going to do. The regular Repubs are VERY unhappy w/this.

There is talk they'll kick him out, if he wins. But I don't know if they can do that, legally. We'll see.

[hatrack]

20. Both of them?

.

[Honeycombe8]

21. HAHAHAHAHA!

[Chakaconcarne]

11. Are the bots out in full force?

[IronLionZion]

12. Forget the polls, it's important for enough of our people to vote

against this predator

[Coventina]

14. Ick. Well, I know what to think of Alabamans now.

Sweet home Alabama.

Ugh.

[Midnight Writer]

15. I think polls are meaningless in this election. Telling a pollster you will not support a pedophile

is exactly what you would expect from a voter who would support a pedophile.

[Blue_Tires]

16. At this point the only thing that will cost Moore votes

is if he starts talking about sensible gun control or reining in police recklessness in minority neighborhoods...

[diva77]

19. Further evidence that we need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine in a bad way and need to

tax churches for mixing politics and $$ with religion. Moore's backers must be steeped in wingnut hate radio, faux teevee, and hateful wingnut sermons

K&R for exposure

[Tarheel_Dem]

23. The only thing that matters in AL is "making liberal heads explode". It's a sport for them.

Even if they care about Moore's peccadillos, that won't change how they vote. Moore will win this race. What happens after that is anybody's guess.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Fuck Alabama
