Exit polling from Alabama shows how many voters believe accusations against Roy Moore

What do the polls say?

In a key indicator, a less than half of Alabama Senate voters say they believe the allegations against Moore are true or probably true (49 percent).

But more Republican voters believe the allegations are true than Democrats voters believe they're false.

For about 40 percent of voters, the allegations were the most important factor in their vote, mostly for Jones voters. Moore voters were more motivated by their support for Donald Trump. Early exit polling shows Jones supporters more staunchly behind their candidate than those behind Moore.
