Southeast research poll, Alabama: Moore+16

Ugh. It's 2017 and we're about to get a U.S. senator who openly supports both abolishing same sex marriage and no-exceptions abortion laws.

If Moore manages to win the runoff, the GE with Jones should be very competitive, and Jones might even win.

Doubt it. Moore seems popular in Alabama and he's won statewide elections before (52% vs Bob Vance in 2012) -- especially considering Moore's getting better funding/support now and the Trump momentum is stronger than Romney's downballot support. Is he Richard Shelby? No, but he's still the favorite (55/45 margin?)

In fairness, the last time Moore was up for election, he only won by 52% in a strangely close race against Robert Vance.

I have no idea if that's a benchmark for AL-SEN 2017 considering that's like using "Hawley ran past Trump, he'll beat McCaskill in a landslide" logic. But it's not impossible for Moore to encounter some problems with Jones. It's just Likely R at that point.

Alan Keyes isn't conservative enough anymore?
