This is consistent with other polls. It’ll be competitive, but Perdue will win.
That’s a nice margin!
This is good news and explains the recent spate of ads trying to paint Perdue as a nasty job killing business man
Its disturbing that after two terms of Obama, a senate race in Georgia will be competitive.
Yes it is. Very disturbing.
Michelle Nunn wants your gun.
I hope this poll is accurate, but once Sam sees it, he will come out on the stump, and all bets are off.
Michelle Nunn likes the work Rubio and McCain did on immigration. But she doesn’t know how she would have voted.
No - the demographics have turned against Conservatives.
Georgia is 31% Black and 9% Hispanic.
The voter eligibility for Hispanics is quite low there, about 40%, but the eligibility for Blacks is about 70%, and whites are about 79%.
If Democrats find some way to turn out their non-white base voters, this race will be competitive.
Georgia was one of the states named by Plouffe where he feels the demographic influx of hispanics will make the POTUS permanently Democrat.
The problem for Democrats is that, nationally, Hispanic voter eligibility is very low, usually in the range of 40%-44%.
New Mexico has the highest eligibility, which I think is just over 50%.
The Census figures can be very misleading.
The Census counts “all persons present.”
Thus, they count Hispanic citizens AND those with Green Cards AND illegals.
But, there are still important consequences to the Census number.
When we have the next Census in 2020, the total population of a state or a Congressional District is NOT based on voting citizens - it is based on “all persons present.”
Thus, presidential electoral votes can change, and CD’s can change, because large numbers of non-citizens live there, including illegal immigrants.
There are many things to be disturbed about, but this is not one of them. Michelle Nunn is a media creation and a puff of air, and the race will not be close.
Yeah, it won’t be a blowout, but Perdue will win with room to spare. I think black turnout will drop enough as to give Purdue a 52%-44% win. And even if Nunn miraculously can eke out a narrow plurality in November, there’s no way she can get 50%+1, and she’d get clobbered in a December run-off like Jim Martin did in 2008.
Do you think it is possible that Carter’s grandkid wins the race he is in and help Michelle over the line? I certainly hope not. In fact, I find it amazing that any Carter would even show their face much less run again. However, we are talking about a state that loved Jimmy Carter.
Carter might have a chance if Obama was on the ballot, since with a high black turnout he could win with like 30% of the white vote. But GA doesn’t hold gubernatorial elections on presidential-election years, and I don’t think that Carter can break 46% this November.
Zell is friends with Nunn’s father so this doesn’t surprise me.
Hmmm. What happened to all the freepers telling us how Zig Zag is "more conservative than most Republicans up north" and so "honorable and patriotic"?
::crickets chirp::
To this day I can't understand the freepers who went into orgasms whenever Zig Zag spoke. If he had replaced a Barbara Boxer type RAT in the Senate, then yes, it would have been great to rejoice and rub it in the RATs faces since we upgraded to a much more "conservative" Senator and Zig Zag was probably "the best we can get" on the RAT side. But Zig Zag didn't replace a marxist. Instead, he replaced a guy with a 96% lifetime conservative record, and Zig Zag cast the tie-breaking vote to make Daschle the Senate President and let him control the agenda. His appointment to the US Senate moved that body to the LEFT.
He endorsed Max Cleland, and is now endorsing Michelle Nunn. Two marxist RATs for Senate. But he endorsed Bush in 2004 so somehow that makes it OK.
If that's their idea of a "true conservative", I'd hate to see what liberal looks like. Ironically the "RINO" they despise is much more reliably conservative than Zig Zag (and he won't be endorsing a RAT to replace him).
