1. The risk here

Is that people may be unwilling to admit to a polling company that they are going to vote for him, but would do so anyway.

I'll be delighted if we get this seat, but an eight point poll lead is not a safe thing yet.

2. Excellent almost incredible news is no cause for a downer! Confirms R internal poll as well.

Did you know about the other recent poll with a 12 point margin? All of which means like a 30 point swing from last month.

On a related matter why is Fox giving the cone of silent e treatment about the R call for an ethics hearing when Franken himself called for?

Fishy.

6. or vice versa

I am pretty sure that some Republicans will not be able to really support Moore. Obviously some Republicans
are middle of the road, they can't be ALL of them insane. They will just quietly not vote.

Plus, there is a write-in candidate, from Auburn, now. So far I have not seen his affiliation. But he will help draw some R-votes, with luck.

5. Woohoo, 101%!!!! Can you say fuzzy math?

9. Rounding error.

Besides the margin oferror is probably 4% so it could be a tie. Polls are only a snapshot. The only poll that matters happens on election day. I'm sure the Democrat in the race will get some Republcan backing among the party faithful because Moore is crazy as a loon and ompossible to work with. His election would accomplish nothing except to to cause more problems for an already didvided majority.

10. The Washington Post, citing the Fox poll, ran with 8%

Democrat Jones leads Roy Moore by 8 points in Alabama, per Fox News poll

Democrat Doug Jones leads Roy Moore by 8 points among those likely to vote in Alabama’s special election to the U.S. Senate next month, according to Fox News.

The poll, released Thursday afternoon, is the first survey from a major pollster since The Washington Post first reported allegations that Moore had initiated sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl in 1979. Several other women have subsequently come forward with stories about Moore soliciting dates from them while they were underage or, in one case, alleged an attempted sexual assault by Moore.

Before the Fox News poll, RealClearPolitics’ average of recent polls in the state continued to give a slight edge to Moore. The Fox News poll, though, shows a dramatic shift in the race since its last survey in October, with Jones seeing a seven-point jump from the 42 percent he had among registered voters then to 49 percent this month. Among likely voters, he leads 50 percent to 42 percent.
