The Trafalgar Group poll shows 48 percent of respondents said they plan to vote for Moore with 3 percent saying they are "leaning" towards the GOP nominee. Forty-one percent said they plan to vote for Jones with 5 percent "leaning" that way. Slightly more than 3.3 percent said the plan to vote for someone else.

The poll was conducted Dec. 6-17 among 1,419 respondents.

The second poll, this one conducted by Gravis Marketing, shows 49 percent of the respondents plan to vote for Moore compared to 45 percent who said the same about Jones. Among undecideds, 24 percent said they are leaning towards Moore; 27 percent were leaning towards Jones; and 49 percent haven't made up their minds who to support. T

he same poll shows 43 percent of Alabamians believe the allegations against Moore while 37 percent do not. Twenty percent of respondents said they were unsure if the allegations were true.

Forty-percent said they do not trust Roy Moore compared to 40 percent who said they do. Thirteen percent are uncertain. The poll was conducted Dec. 5-8 among 1,245 likely voters.

Using the Trafalgar Group and Gravis polls, along with others dating back to September, Moore enjoys an average lead of almost 4 points, according to RealClearPolitics.com. Moore had enjoyed a lead of as much as 22 points before the abuse allegations surfaced.
