In reply to the discussion: Poll: 37 percent of Alabama evangelicals more likely to vote for Moore after allegations [View all]Journeyman
(15,043 posts)22. My thought precisely . . .
What exactly is "more likely to vote for" the guy they were already committed to voting for? They're going to punch the ballot a little more firmly, put a little extra ink in the box next to his name?
I can't imagine there's more than a negligible number who now intend to register to vote and then actually make it to the polls, so the "strong support" of his base is merely window dressing to the obvious.
The 28% of Evangelicals who've rejected him, however? As you say, that's putting a major hurt on his chances.

Values voters. Who amongst us would support a Democrat who'd done this? Deplorables.
