Democrats lead in GA Presidential, GA-SEN and GA-SEN-S (Quinnipiac)

The race for the White House in Georgia is too close to call with 50 percent of likely voters supporting former Vice President Joe Biden and 47 percent supporting President Trump, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pea-ack) University poll of likely voters released today.


Republican incumbent Senator David Perdue, who is seeking a second term, is essentially tied with Democrat Jon Ossoff, as 49 percent of likely voters go to Ossoff and 48 percent go to Perdue. Republicans support Perdue 97 - 2 percent, Democrats support Ossoff 96 - 2 percent, and independents support Ossoff 53 - 43 percent.


In the crowded special election Senate race for the seat held by Republican Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed last December, the top three candidates are Democrat Raphael Warnock with 31 percent, Loeffler at 23 percent, and Republican Doug Collins at 22 percent.

They must be pretty disgusted. It should be easy to make them turn their backs and walk away. I doubt we can cross many over, but we can convince them to not vote out of disgust.

It's a GOTV war and we've got a ton of momentum. I smell an asswhoopin and a flight to Russia in the middle of the night.

Republicans that just don't have the stomach for it anymore.
(may not be in huge percentages -- but have no doubt it is a factor. unfortunately -- the Rs have always been really good at getting to the polls. so you have to counter that trend. AND -- one of the reasons that Joe Biden is absolutely the right choice for our ticket this year! plenty of people out there that have voted religiously in the past -- and just can't vote for Trump this time.)

My absentee ballot was mailed on 9/23, but hasn’t yet arrived. I’m going to check on its journey to my mailbox today.

I guess his support dropped as people realized they have to rally around one person to avoid the situation of 2 republicans going onto the run-off. It's still a bit worrying that the 2 republicans gets to 45% total in the poll while the 2 democrats get to 40%. It looks like we will still be behind in the run-off.
