The Washington Post just had to get people's hopes up accurately poll the race, didn't they?

Ftfy

If you think this poll is accurate, how could you be so sure of Jones' victory? It's margin of error.

Taken partially after Moore went back into public. Could support the idea that his supposed rebound was due to him being out of sight.

Dare we speculate on what he was doing while out of sight?

Black Friday shopping at the mall probably.

"Black Friday shopping" takes on a whole new meaning when discussing Roy Moore. Was he looking for America's Sweetheart?

imo, the most interesting part of this poll is that people are much more likely to trust Doug Jones than Roy Moore (58-30) on LGBT issues.  That's... remarkable, to be honest.  Given poll numbers at the top of the poll, it suggests that a Democrat could use LGBT issues to draw voters to support him.  In Alabama.  Let that sink in.

I don't think that's the right interpretation. The poll also shows a big margin against gay marriage. Most likely is that a chunk of Roy Moore supporters are intellectually honest enough to say the obvious that Jones would be better for LGBT rights, even if they themselves oppose those rights. Which is odd since they're not intellectually honest enough to admit they're supporting a pedophile out of pure tribal partisanship, hatred, and racism.

Not to be a downer but it could also indicate roy moore supporters saying they associate Doug Jones with the LGBT community and would vote against him because of it.

That doesn't make any sense. The question was "Who do you trust more on LGBT issues".

>implying Alabungans are always going to respond to a question the correct way

As Doug Jones reminded us, they're 49th in education for a reason.

Also, sending a pedophile to the Senate doesn't make any sense either. Yet here we are.
