The Alabama Senate race between Roy Moore, the Republican judge accused by multiple women of sexual assault and other misconduct toward girls as young as 14, and Doug Jones, his Democratic rival, is heading toward a photo finish, new poll results released Saturday show. The Washington Post-Schar School survey
puts Jones three points ahead at 50 percent support to Moore's 47
percent, a lead inside the poll's 4.5 percent margin of error.
Answers show
about three in four Alabamians are following the race closely, and the
same proportion of registered voters say they are certain or likely to
make it to the voting booth on Election Day. Moore retains a one-point
lead on the issue of abortion, while Jones is strongly ahead on LGBT
issues and personal moral conduct.
The two candidates see closer levels of trust on health-care matters —
51 percent prefer Jones here, and 45 percent want Moore — which voters
say is the single most important topic to them in this race (as compared
to abortion, LGBT issues, and personal moral conduct). Overall, the
district is still distinctly red; a majority of respondents said that
"[r]egardless of the candidates running" this year, they'd prefer a GOP
senator representing their state in Washington
