Alabama's Judge Roy Moore holds commanding lead in Senate race
2017-11-01
[Breitbart] Judge Roy Moore holds a commanding lead in the Alabama Senate race and has "united" local Republicans behind him, according to a poll released Tuesday ‐ data that crushes the establishment narrative that Moore is a divisive figure who may botch a winnable election.

The poll, first reported by Politico, was put out in a polling memo by the McConnell-backed Senate Leadership Fund which campaigned vigorously for Moore’s primary rival Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL). But, despite warnings from establishment voices that Moore was too extreme and could cost the GOP a safe seat, the poll shows the exact opposite.

The Axis Research poll shows the race is looking "less and less competitive" and gives Moore a 17-point lead over Democratic challenger Doug Jones.

"Not only is nearly half of the electorate (49%) DEFINITELY voting for Roy Moore, the data shows Moore has united the Republican Party following the Republican primary and the Republican run-off, and earns strong support throughout the conservative coalition," the memo says.

#3  Amazing what happens when people have candidates with leadership to vote for.
They may not like all the opinions but they sure like consistency and predictability.

One way of ensuring that they cannot be bribed or make it obvious if they go "washington" AKA corrupted by deep-state

Weren't these same polls telling us Moore was trailing badly just two weeks ago? These polls botched / purposefully got wrong the Brexit and Trump victories and are worth dog shit.

Divided from what? Maybe some things need dividing.
