A poll commissioned by Raycom News Network released Wednesday found that Republican Roy Moore is continuing to hold a significant lead over Democrat Doug Jones in Alabama's Senate race.

Conducted by Mobile-based Strategy Research, the poll said that Moore had 51 percent of support to 40 percent for Jones. And 9 percent of poll participants declared themselves undecided.

It's the exact same results from a poll last month commissioned by Raycom and conducted by Strategy Research.

Something triggered McConnell - Moore could be the poster child of the Republican Party in 2018?
