The latest poll of the Alabama special election for Senate, pitting Republican sexual predator Roy Moore against Democratic KKK prosecutor Doug Jones, comes from Fox News. Despite that, it’s extremely optimistic for Democrats. Take-it-with-a-few-grains-of-salt optimistic, maybe—but even if the eight point lead the Fox poll gives Jones is exaggerated, it should spur Democrats to work extra hard on this shockingly within-reach race. Jones leads Moore 50 percent to 42 percent, and:
Jones wins 91 percent of Democratic voters, while Moore is at 78 percent among Republicans. Only 3 percent of Democrats say they will vote for Moore, but about 13 percent of Republicans say they will vote for Jones.
Among voters under age 45, Jones has a 31-point lead, 61 percent to 30 percent. Moore has only a slight edge with voters 45 and older, 48 percent to 44 percent.
Moore leads Jones among male voters, 53 percent to 41 percent. But Jones has a wide advantage among women, 58 percent to 32 percent.
Let's give Doug Jones the support he needs to make this poll reality on Election Day. Can you give $1?
