A JMC analytics poll run between November 9 and 11 found that 37 percent of evangelicals surveyed in Alabama are now more likely to vote for Roy Moore in the state’s senate race following allegations of sexual misconduct against the candidate.
Only 27 percent of evangelicals polled said they were less likely to vote for Moore, and 34 percent said the allegations did not make a difference in their decision, reports The Hill.
Earlier this month, The Washington Post surfaced a report by a woman who claims Moore initiated sexual contact with her in 1972 — when she was just 14-years-old and he 32. Now, three other women have come forward with similar claims from that time period. Moore says these allegations are “completely false.”
Furthermore, 29 percent of respondents to the poll said the allegations against the GOP candidate would make them more likely to vote for him, while 38 percent said the allegations would make them less likely to vote for Moore, according to The Hill.
The JMC poll was based on 575 responses and has a margin of error of 4.1 percent.
