Fifty-three per cent of voters say Jones, a former federal prosecutor, has higher standards of personal moral conduct than Moore. In contrast, about a third of likely voters say Moore, who has cast his campaign as a “spiritual battle” with heavy religious overtones, has higher moral standards. The Post-Schar School poll was conducted Monday to Thursday by the research firm Abt Associates among a sample of 739 likely voters and carries a 4.5-point margin of sampling error. The smallest group — 28 per cent of likely voters — says Moore did not make the advances that were alleged. Less than half, 44 per cent, of likely voters say they would prefer to see a Democrat representing Alabama in the Senate, while 50 per cent of likely voters say they favor electing a Republican.
