Dem just 6 points behind in Alabama Senate race: poll
Source: The Hill
Alabama Republican Roy Moore leads Democrat Doug Jones by less than 6 points in a new Senate special election poll that's likely to raise questions about whether the deep-red state is in play.
Moore, the controversial former judge who won Tuesday's GOP primary runoff, leads Moore by a margin of 50.2 percent to 44.5 percent in a new poll conducted by Opinion Savvy and commissioned by Decision Desk HQ. About 5 percent of polled voters said they were undecided.
Democrats are cautiously eying the race in the hopes that Moore's penchant for controversy can help them pull a surprise upset. Moore has a solid base of support among the state's evangelical community, a reliable voting bloc, thanks to being kicked off the state Supreme Court bench twice for disregarding court orders on the separation of church and state and gay marriage.
But he's also drawn serious criticism for both those decisions as well as some controversial comments he's made in the past. He's argued that terror attacks and violence may have been caused by a drift away from religion, that homosexual conduct should be illegal, and said that a Muslim congressman shouldn't be seated in Congress.

I'd say this was close enough to at least mount an energetic challenge.

I've been, like many Americans, a big fan of Abraham Lincoln, but now I'm questioning his work to disallow Alabama's secession.
Those parasite rednecks, who vote for racists like Trump and Moore while living off the taxes paid by the blue states, should live in their own ignorant filth at their own damned expense.
They take three bucks for every buck they pay from the federal gov't, this to vote consistently for ignoramuses.
