Alabama has voted Republican in every Presidential election since 1976 (1 of only 13 states out of 50 to do so) and has not had a Democratic Senator since 1992. Trump won Alabama by 28% over Hillary in 2016, of course Moore should be favourite. While most recent polls have Moore ahead, a WP post poll last week gave Jones a 3% lead and a new Gravis poll gives Jones a 4% lead so it is not impossible he could pull out an upset in a reverse of the GOP's shock win in Massachusetts in 2010 when they narrowly won Ted Kennedy's old Senate seat.

Pickout the Emmerson polling and it's

September 21 – September 23 Moore +22
November 9 – November 11 Moore +10
November 25 – November 27 Moore +6
November 30 – December 2 Moore +3

I detect a trend

But it still is pretty incredible that any state will elect a man facing multiple accusations of sexual assault on underage girls. Remarkable in two ways, firstly that voters are so partisan now and America so divided that in parts of red state America being a Democrat is literally worse than being an alleged child molester, and secondly that the Republican party is so morally bankrupt that they've only managed vague mumblings of disquiet about him.
