The poll - the first to be released in the aftermath of sexual misconduct allegations made against Moore - perhaps indicates the impact of the story on the Senate race. A previous Opinion Savvy poll had Moore ahead by 5.7 points.

Most polls have reported that Moore held a 6 to 11 point lead. Other polls on the Senate race are expected to be released in the coming days.

Moore has denied the allegations.

The poll found that 82.2 percent of the people surveyed were aware of the allegations made against Moore that were reported around noon Thursday by The Washington Post.

The poll also said that 54 percent of the people aware of the Moore allegations said he should not withdraw from the race while 34.9 percent said that he should. And 11.1 percent said they were unsure.

The poll sampled 515 likely Senate voters via landline and cell phones and has a 4.3 percent margin for error.

The poll also found that "other" received 3.8 percent support and 3.7 percent were undecided.

The poll also asked participants if, given the chance, they would write in U.S. Sen. Luther Strange at the polls. Strange lost to Moore in the GOP runoff in September. Under those circumstances, Jones had 43.6 percent support, Moore 41.3 and Strange had 12.3 percent as write-in.

"We are not focused on polls," the Jones campaign said in a statement to AL.com. "Doug is working hard for every vote from the top of the state to the bottom. We are in Mobile today where we're expecting another great crowd, following well-attended campaign events this week in Alexander City, Montgomery, Pell City, Anniston, Muscle Shoals and Fyffe, where 400 people attended a (barbecue).

"We will be in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, where Doug will continue to talk about issues and meet as many people as possible. There is definitely an energy and momentum throughout the state."

The Moore campaign did not respond Friday to a request for comment.
