Democrat Is Shockingly Close In Alabama Senate Race: Poll
New poll suggests Democrats should take Alabama seriously.
Democrat Doug Jones is surprisingly close to Republican Roy Moore in deep red Alabama, a new poll just found.
According to a new poll by Opinion Savvy and commissioned by Decision Desk HQ, Moore’s lead over Jones is less than 6 points.
The shockingly close poll numbers suggest that Democrats should be taking the Alabama Senate race seriously as a potential 2018 pickup.
Democrats have been eyeing the race since it became clear that Moore would likely win the Republican nomination.
The poll suggests that Moore may be too extreme, even for a place as conservative as Alabama.
About the poll: Opinion Savvy polled 590 likely voters on Wednesday and Thursday. The poll has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.
