Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) holds a significant lead over Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) in the race for her Senate seat, a new poll found.
A Battleground Connect survey of likely voters in the upcoming special election first reported by Politico revealed that 36 percent support Collins, who has represented the 9th district in Georgia since 2013, for the Senate seat currently held by Loeffler.
Loeffler currently trails both Collins and a Democratic opponent, pastor Raphael Warnock of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and sits at 13 percent in the poll. Warnock registered support from 16 percent of voters, indicating that Collins has a clear advantage in the race.

Bill Ackerman made 2 billion dollars betting against the stock market and he didn't go anywhere near the White House. That's what I meant about insider trading. Her husband had access to people like Ackerman and, according to her, she had a blind trust where everything was done for her. But you have to look at the people who were doing it, and she had some of the best. So unlike the thief from North Carolina she has some deniability.
No matter how you cut it it's still the big guys making money while the little guys go broke. She just happened to know big guys who didn't need government sources to pull it off.
Gonna make a small donation to Collins...for luck...
I’m thinking she’d be best to withdraw her candidacy. If she wants to run for something, let her go for a House seat. But the stock market selloff stuff has seriously tainted her candidacy.
If polling shows she’s hopeless to reach 2nd place and ensure an R/R runoff, sure, Collins can win outright with 50% + 1, correct?
As far as I know.
I don't believe so. It's a jungle primary so I think the two biggest vote getters regardless of party will be on the ballot in November.
It’s officially not a primary.
A general election in Nov, followed by a run off in Jan. If necessary.
50% +1 will end it.
Yes, the GA special has a traditional jungle-primary format, so if anyone gets 50%+1 he’ll be elected without a runoff. But an Internet poll by one of the campaigns is not exactly the gold standard of scientific polling, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.
It’s too bad there isn’t a Republican running in this race.
Basically, in any sane time, he'd be recognized as a Democrat.
Conservative Review gives him an “F” - 50%. Is Georgia basically California now?
Collins being a conservative is greatly overrated. Apparently he forgets he’s supposed to be a conservative when he votes.
I would have never thought this about Collins.
