Washington Examiner:
Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore is ahead of Democratic challenger Doug Jones, despite several recent allegations of sexual misconduct, a new poll says.Other polls give Jones a slight edge. That the race is still winnable for Moore is an indication of how unpopular Democrats are in teh state and how much they are distrusted.
Among Alabama voters, 46.7 percent are backing Moore, while 39.6 percent are supporting Jones. Almost 14 percent of voters are undecided, according to a pollconducted by Sky Research.

Others have come forward with additional allegations since then. Moore has repeatedly denied the accusations.
