A broad majority of Georgia voters support a statewide shelter-in-place to combat the spread of the coronavirus, according to a University of Georgia survey released as Gov. Brian Kemp debates whether to extend stay-at-home orders set to expire Thursday night.
The survey found about one-half of registered Georgia voters support the mandate that took effect April 3, and an additional one-quarter of voters “somewhat back it.” Only about 10% of Georgians oppose the idea; the rest are neutral or undecided.
And roughly 62% of Georgia voters disapprove of Kemp’s decision to ease restrictions on restaurants, theaters and close-contact businesses such as barbershops and nail salons over the past week, a measure that was strongly criticized by Democratic leaders, prominent local mayors and President Donald Trump.

Do you think the Lord of the world overrides the Will of Almighty God?
Yeah, we are forced to deal with certain unpleasantness, but the Bible is clear on what happens is ultimately the Will of God.
Otherwise, you are saying God is not all powerful.
Make your choice.
People look at the battlefield of Good and Evil like a human battlefield, but that is only a approximation for our comfort. The reality is that the entire game board is God’s.
I guess I look at humans (like myself) as mice in a maze. We get to make choice that influence OUR OWN SOUL. But in the end God determines the maze, the rules, and where people’s soul goes at the end.
Also, do you not think every aborted soul is not in His care thereafter? Yeah, human kind will be punished, but there is no soul lost or gained in God’s World.
As once told by someone here I think: God is the ultimate psychiatrist. He wrote the firmware. He will heal our suffering, without touching our free will. Try that one on for size next time you think He isn’t in control! Yes, people will pay for the suffering of an aborted fetus, but that fetus is already sitting in heaven, healed of the trauma. It really can be no other way...
What matters is the choices YOU make for your OWN SOUL, and whether or not you attempted to further the Kingdom of God while you had your earthly run. NOTHING ELSE, because you control NOTHING ELSE. Even if you KILL another man, you do not get a say in where his soul rests. Only God.
So often today do people mix up the idea they are doing God’s will and working for God. They are two different things, and very specific, and not generally related. Even Satan himself has to do the Will of God. So sad for him — it even means whether it looks like he is winning or not on this earth, he will lose in the end, because there is no other choice for him.
Why God made things this way, I have not a clue, but its the way it is. I think like my maze analogy, this world is a testing ground for the soul. Will we follow Him or him?
Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were all doing God’s will, really. Then why aren’t they celebrated like Saints instead of being universally condemned?
This is one of those polls intended to gauge the effectiveness of their propaganda and, like the others, is meaningless.
See, this is the problem with polls, the bulk of this poll was taken last Wensday!
Taken last week!
The survey of registered voters in Georgia was conducted April 21, 23-25 by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs. Because of the pandemic, the telephone call center at UGA has been temporarily shut down, so the poll relied on an online panel from Dynata Corp. Respondents were sent an electronic invitation allowing them to voluntarily participate in the survey.
This is what is known in statistics as a VOLUNTARY RESPONSE SAMPLE, and as such, it is WORTHLESS. Compared to random samples, a voluntary response sample is always biased.
What a joke of a poll.
Look, no one is forcing anybody to come out of their house.
The far left crazies are perfectly free to hide under their beds for the rest of their lives for all I care.
The rest of humanity will go out, get haircuts, go to the park and live like normal human beings again.
The AJC has been a pathetic poor excuse of a newspaper with fake news and fake push polls for years. Nothing new.
Governor Kemp MUST hold firm.
Aren’t they precious little hothouse shrinking violets?
Very good point, unfortunately the public school system has dumbed down so many people
Luke 4 makes it very clear that the “kingdoms of this world and the wealth thereof” have been usurped by the Devil who can dispense them to whomever he pleases.
Ever wonder why elections make so little difference?
the ajc push poll crap .
Online polls is a joke
The Orthodox Church frequently remembers the pagan Emperors Nero, Valerian, and Diocletian (and others) but NOT is a good way!
Yep, my hair was the longest it had been since the 1970s - but I did go visit a liquor store that I knew was owned in part by the barber whose closed shop is next door. Sure enough, he was in there. I asked if the back door to his shop was open (hint, hint). Worked like a charm - got a speakeasy haircut and picked up a nice bottle of bourbon on my way out.
The hell we do.Listen up everyone, the commies at this cage liner want nothing more than to keep this going as long as possible.The polling,if they actually really do any polling is done only in fulton county which is the majorty MOONBAT CENTRAL.The rest of the state has gone back to work.Just look at the traffic reports every morning and its almost back to the norm ie crowded as hell.
Hopefully, it will be sooner than you think. Good luck.
Many AnyTime Fitness locations are open. LA Fitness, Crunch, Planet Fitness - not so much. Too big.
“...Life is simple: If you are a small business owner and don’t feel it’s safe to open - don’t open.
If you are an individual and don’t feel it’s safe to go out - don’t go out.....”
Wow...now that right there is a great concept! I like it.
We old timers used to have a thing like that, but we called it “freedom”...something along the lines of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I head that somewhere before.....hmmm.
My GA gym was scheduled to reopen on May 1. Then the Karens burned up the gym’s phone lines/FB page. Now my gym has decided to remain closed and “reassess” on May 15. I’ve been called a murderer for being irked.
The Karens in my county are absolutely loving this - their lives finally have purpose. One suggested that we shouldn’t consider reopening until July at the earliest (with no logic behind that date). Sadly, I’m sure that many others agree. I’m beyond fed up.

An AJC poll unfavorable to Kemp/Trump in an election year?
Perfectly normal, completely accurate, no bias here are all.
