Fox News has released a new poll showing Doug Jones with a 10-point lead in the Alabama Senate race. Great news, right! Um, maybe not.
Considering that other polls have shown Moore ahead and a close race, it strains credibility to believe that Jones has suddenly opened up a huge lead like this. If I didn’t know better, I’d suspect that this poll is #FakeNews designed to mislead Democratic voters into thinking they don’t need to get out and vote. Why bother if your guy is that far ahead? At the same time, it could panic Republicans into thinking they absolutely must get to the polls to stop the “Socialist” from winning.
Putting out a fake poll to try to swing an election would be such a bizarre idea that it hardly seems believable. But this is Fox News, and there’s no limit to how low they could go.
