A wide-ranging poll conducted by an Alabama firm indicates Republican Roy Moore is still holding a strong lead in his Senate race.
At the same time, Democrat Doug Jones is polling well enough to show "signs of life" for the Democratic Party in a deeply Republican state, the poll's memo said.

Cygnal conducted the landline and cell phone survey Oct. 2-5, polling 497 Senate general election voters. The poll has a margin of error of 4.4 percent. It's the first poll Cygnal said it had conducted since July in which at least 90 percent of participants said they were definitely voting in the Dec. 12 Senate election.
Moore holds an eight-point lead over Jones in the poll released exactly two months before the election. Moore got support from 49 percent of poll participants to Jones' 41 percent.

Doug Jones needs to get some ads on the air, soon. A lot of voters still have no idea who he is.
