Nearly 40 percent of Alabama evangelicals said in a new poll that they are more likely to vote for GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore following allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

In all , 29 percent of respondents in the poll said the allegations against Moore would make them more likely to vote for him, compared to 38 percent overall who said the allegations would make them less likely to vote for the candidate.

===================================================================

Nearly 40 percent of Alabama evangelicals said in a new poll that they are more likely to vote for GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore following allegations of sexual misconduct against him.

A JMC analytics poll  found that 37 percent of evangelicals surveyed said the allegations make them more likely to vote for the GOP Senate candidate in the upcoming election.

Just 28 percent said the allegations made them less likely to vote for Moore and 34 percent said the allegations made no difference in their decision.

In all, 29 percent of respondents in the poll said the allegations against Moore would make them more likely to vote for him, compared to 38 percent overall who said the allegations would make them less likely to vote for the candidate.

The poll was conducted on Nov. 9 and Nov. 11 and was based on 575 responses. It has a margin of error of 4.1 percent.

The Washington Post reported last week that a 53-year-old woman accused Moore of initiating sexual contact with her in 1979, when she was 14 and he was 32.

Three other women also said Moore approached them around the same time, when they were between the ages of 16 and 18.

Moore has denied the allegations, saying they are "completely false" and suggesting they are part of a smear campaign.

Maybe the evangelicals still believe in the old teachings about innocent until proven guilty, let those without sin cast the first stone and thou shalt not bear false witness.

Or maybe they're just appalled by the bold faced hypocrisy of those who slandered Juanita Brodderick telling Moore he should drop out.

E.A  We are back to " Taking things out of Context again "!!  Lets go back to the " Old Faithful " misquote Matthew Chapter Seven  Verse 1- 26:

 Most misquote Verse one " Judge Not ", an stop there   half breathed and half brained,  but  keep reading and the WHOLE chapter is about " JUDGING " so I am willing for you to tell me,,, when a tree bears " Rotten Fruit " what does that mean?

E.A  Shhhsss   You sure fooled me!!

So the Misquotes of the BIBLE verse was just a distraction? was it?

 OR was it a  Underhanded implication that was caught, and now??,, yes what now,, " Two wrongs make a right " are  we on that trail now?

It always amazes ME. that folk accidentally bring up BIBLE verses  , and it even amazes me more, that they seldom if EVER in context, to either the Biblical Text , OR the discussion  on the seed !! :-)

What misquote was that exactly? You started off with a completely different verse about judge not lest ye be judged so your response wasn't even coherent.

E.A I am Easy,, choose any one of the ones you have  misquoted and I Tango with you... how is that?

Or .. we can  chat about Matthew 7 ( Seven )  it be educational  for many here!

Still waiting for some indisputable proof...at least Monica Lewinsky had a dress with Bubba Billy's DNA on it.

Allegations don't work in a court of law. Perhaps Moore should sue them for slander. Would they even show up in court?

Judging from the hate fest against Moore I've seen in comment sections I'd say private citizens should be extremely happy they don't get sued for slander.

Even news commentators and personalities rarely get successfully sued- unless it's extreme negligence like Rolling Stone.

So the story says that Moore contacted all three women about the same time. Sketchy at best. What about before? After? According to the WaPo, Moore looked for young women at one particular time, apparently never before...and never again. If anyone believes this, well, they are liberal, ie, gullible to say the least.

Yep, it sure sounds and smells fishy. I thought these people have all kinds of victims their whole lives until they get caught, and can't be cured.

Just too politically convenient to be true, and I am sure the good people of Alabama will see through it....as much as I can't stand Moore, for his religious extremism.

I didn't vote for Moore in the primaries, but I will on Tuesday in defiance of this blatant show put on by Democrats.

Just doesn't make any sense. WaPo wants us to believe that between the ages of 16/17, Alabama age of consent to the age of 34, then again after these "encounters from 34 to today, they could not find ANYONE ELSE who Moore may have contacted. I always thought that if you were a pedophile, you did so for much of your life, ie, Huma's other half, Weiner.

I read a recent story that stated an ABC affiliate in Alabama could not find a single person would change their vote based on this story. I believe liberalism will suffer even more butthurt after this election. I hope northeast and west coast WalMarts have enough butthurt cream in stock. They sure are gonna sell some alot.

I think you will find many more like you who will do the same.  This BS has backfired on liberals and never Trumpers, so don't be surprised if the "find" others like these 3 fakes.
