Republican Roy Moore trails his Democratic opponent for the first time in polling for the Alabama Senate race, days after accusations surfaced that he had sexual contact with a 14-year-old girl almost four decades ago.
Moore faces Democrat Doug Jones, 63, a former U.S. attorney, in a special election on Dec. 12 to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, now the U.S. attorney general. Alabama is typically considered a safe Republican seat.
