AJC poll: Race for president, Senate contests in Georgia 'too close to call'

A new poll conducted for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows the presidential race in Georgia could not be closer, with President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden tied in a political environment dominated by the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic as well as protests over racial inequality.

The poll pegged Trump and Biden at 47% apiece, with an additional 1% of voters backing Libertarian Jo Jorgensen. Only 4% were undecided in the survey of 1,150 likely voters, which was conducted Sept. 11-20 by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs.

Georgia’s twin U.S. Senate races are also competitive. U.S. Sen. David Perdue (47%) and Democrat Jon Ossoff (45%) are neck-and-neck, within the poll’s margin of error of 4 percentage points. Libertarian Shane Hazel has 4% support, and about 5% are undecided.

The special election for U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s seat is still highly unsettled. Loeffler is pegged at 24%, echoing other polls that suggest she’s built a slight lead. But U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, her fiercest Republican rival, and Democrat Raphael Warnock are within striking distance at roughly 20% each

1. Not good enough but I realize this is a positive shift.

Close means steal.

2. a pandemic where the traitor president is caught on tape saying it is deadly while lying

and saying it's like the flu in public. And Georgia is 'tight'. How stupid are republican voters? or how filled with hate that they don't care that the traitor is putting their lives at risk knowingly.

4. In 1932 where by all accounts five million or more people had died of starvation, Hoover

still got 42% of the votes cast in the presidential election.

5. It still appalls me daily how anyone....

with brain function above root-vegetable level can support the Shitgibbon. But it's out there happening.

7. This was one of my first thoughts this morning as well.

I cannot understand, with 200,000+ people dead and dying, 6 million + infected with Covid because of the lies of this President and his party that any poll in this country is even remotely close.

This doesn't even include the bounties on our service people, kids and families in cages, forced hysterectomies and on and on and on and on.

3. It's significant that Biden's getting 30% of the white voters there. HRC got only 21%.

8. Good

Not much faith in red states, but things are looking good. If those states are close, that's gotta be good for the battlegrounds.

11. And good for the future. Turn these Red States purple !!! It takes time, but... nt

9. Don't belive this. Th Atlanta TV stations are 6 to 1 on Repub ads.

We got our hopes up with Stacey Abrams, Michelle Nunn etc. Polls do not allow for the many forms of oppression in Georgia.

10. Good.

It means Repukes have to do big ad spends in a state that is usually solid red.

13. Lieberman's son and the other Democrat in the special election needs to drop out

and endorse Warnock.
