The polling trends for Trump and Roy Moore are starting to look remarkably similar

Polling trends are remarkably similar between Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore and then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Moore has essentially taken a page out of Trump's playbook in his response to sexual misconduct allegations that he preyed on young girls when he was in his 30s.

Those polling trends represent larger parallels between Moore and Trump.

Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore's polling rebound has begun to follow a similar pattern to then-Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the month that followed bombshell sexual misconduct-related revelations against them.

Moore, the Alabama candidate who last month was hit with allegations that he preyed on teenagers when he was in his 30s, saw his RealClearPolitics polling average dip immediately. His his substantial lead over Democratic opponent Doug Jones evaporated in the week that followed the initial revelations.

But now, less than a month after the first allegations were made public, Moore has regained a lead over Jones and has watched his polling average return to a familiar level. The trend mirrors one that Trump experienced following the release of the "Access Hollywood" tape last fall.

In his head-to-head RCP polling average against 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Trump watched his numbers take a slight dip. Clinton increased her lead from 4.7 points to 7.1 points within a 10-day stretch followin the release of the tape in early October.
