AL-NRSC: DOUG +12

[McGovernForPrez]

Whether or not this the release of this poll has an agenda, the fact that it exists still matters. There's a really good Nate Cohn piece talking about how private pollsters have completely re-did their methods in the wake of the 2016 election to improve accuracy. I'd say this poll ought to be taken very seriously.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Where are PPP and other reputable pollsters?

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Sorry, not buying it.

This. Not moving the race out of Toss-Up until after Thanksgiving at the very least. Rash decisions are unwise.

Unless they're made by a dermatologist.

[Devout Centrist]

This is Roy Moore we're talking about. He wouldn't withdraw if he was caught with dead kids in his bed. In fact, he'd run from his jail cell.

[IceSpear]

Most respectable pollsters have never bothered polling Alabama for obvious reasons. Hopefully that changes soon.

[Brittain33]

An internal from a party that has loads of incentive to push Moore out of the race and contradicts all the public polls. Not buying it. But if this does come to pass, I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

It's hysterical that an NRSC poll needs to be thrown out because it is shaded to support the Democrat.

You don't understand, all Alabamians will vote for Moore. Icespear's proven methodology of burying your head in the sand and calling a race three weeks in advance works every time.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Jones very well could be ahead at this point but not by 12. The people who are disgusted by this are far more likely to remain SILENT about it than those who still support Moore.

Toss-up with a slight R tilt.

You take an internal at face value and ignore everything else, yet I am the one burying my head in the sand? Ugh, thank god we didn't have Mark Kirk hacks in 2016. They would've been insisting it was a toss up all the way until the end.

[Brittain33]

In case this is ambiguous—I am confident the NRSC did choose a bad poll to push out.

No. I don't think Jones is favored. I think this race is very much competitive.

You, on the other hand, have been saying nothing but, "SAFE MOORE LMAO ALABAMA," for the past few days. Even going so far as to say, "I will now accept my accolades".

To be fair, I would not have accepted any accolades if it was Moore's internals that showed him ahead...like that Breitbart poll which was clearly trying to push the narrative that the scandal had no effect.

[#gravelgang #lessiglad]

Bit of an out there question, but does anyone think the House Dems' articles of impeachment will have an adverse impact on Jones?

A bit of a siege mentality among the voters who'd be inclined to leave Moore but don't want to?

Politically, I think that was a stupid decision, but Dems need to snatch defeat somehow.

[Lachi]

I
WANT
TO
BELIEVE,

BUT
I
CAN'T
DO
IT!

[Wiz in Wis]

Clearly a push poll...

ie., designed to push Moore out of the race.

[KingSweden]

I can believe Flawless Beautiful Doug being ahead, but not by 12. Let’s not be ridiculous

[Cactus Jack]

Apparently, not even this poll is enough to change the minds of our resident doomsday preachers.

Moore is f**ked. Let that sink in.

[Bidenworth2020]

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Yeah, I'm growing more confident Jones will win this race.

This. Nevertheless I have little doubt that dog is about to do to m o o r e what Moore did to all those children

* groan *

[Yank2133]

Yeah, this is bull****.

They want him out and are trying to spook him.

[Holmes]

But if they're trying to spook Moore to force him out, why did they comment at all on Sessions as a write in? That makes no sense and is counterintuitive if their motive was to scare Moore out of the race.

[Badger]

Where is crazy? He's obviously out of the town with his homeboy practicing their favorite activity
