In the end, a combination of two different storylines doomed Republican Roy Moore in Alabama’s Senate race, according to the exit poll of the contest.

Fifty-two percent of voters in Alabama said those allegations were either “definitely” or “probably” true, and they broke for Democrat Doug Jones, 89 percent to 8 percent. …
In addition, Moore was unpopular with Alabama voters (56 percent of them said they had an unfavorable view of the Republican), versus 50 percent who had a favorable view of Jones. CONT.
