A new internal GOP poll suggests tight prez, Senate races in Georgia

An internal poll conducted by a group backing Gov. Brian Kemp showed a deadlocked presidential race in Georgia and tight contests for both U.S. Senate seats, underscoring the challenges Republicans face keeping the state in the GOP column.

The poll pegged Joe Biden at 47% of support and President Donald Trump with 46%, within the margin of error of 4 percentage points. A small number of voters – just 5% - said they were undecided and 2% declined to answer.

U.S. Sen. David Perdue led Democratic frontrunner Jon Ossoff by a 43-41 margin, also within the margin of error, in his re-election bid. Libertarian Shane Hazel logged 7% of the vote and 8% were undecided. Ossoff’s top rivals weren’t tested in the GOP poll.

And the pollster pronounced the November special election for appointed Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s seat “wide open.” Republican U.S. Rep. Doug Collins (19%), Loeffler (18%) and Democrat Matt Lieberman (17%) were in a jumble at the top of the 21-candidate race, while Raphael Warnock, backed by national Democrats, was at 9%. About one-quarter of voters were undecided.

really do some good too.

4. Loefller screwed the pooch with her stock sales.

People I know who WERE going to vote for her have openly said they're out now because of it

5. And why the hell cant the Democratic party convince ONE person to be their person??

21 people running? Most of them Dems? WTH? You're HANDING the Senate seat to Doug Collins

[Dopers_Greed]

It will probably run-off to two Repugs

6. These polls are great news... but they also show

that Democrats need to be vigilant.

Seems to me that these races are there for the GOP to steal. They'll do anything. We've seen it too many times.

8. Who are these people who still support Trump?

Are they brain damaged? We are looking @ 100,000 dead, 1.5 million cases of C-19, and another
great depression and it is all Trump's fault too.
