Internal GOP poll points to troubling signs for Georgia Republicans
AJC ^ | May 01, 2020 | Greg Bluestein

An internal poll conducted for the Georgia House GOP Caucus points to troubling signs for Republican leaders: President Donald Trump is deadlocked with Joe Biden and voters aren’t giving the White House, Gov. Brian Kemp or the Legislature high marks for the coronavirus response.

The poll also suggests trouble for U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, showing the former financial executive with 11% of the vote and essentially tied with Democrats Matt Lieberman and Raphael Warnock. U.S. Rep. Doug Collins leads the November field with 29% of the vote, and outdoes Loeffler among Republicans by a 62-18 margin.

...

-Voters are evenly split on Trump, but Kemp’s disapproval rating (52%) outweigh his approval rating (43%). Loeffler is deeper underwater after grappling with an uproar over her stock transactions during the pandemic, with an approval of 20% and disapproval of 47%. Collins’ approval rating is about 10 percentage points higher than his disapproval.

-Trump and Biden are in a statistical tie in the race for president, with Trump at 45% and Biden at 44%. Only about 5% of Georgians are undecided, and another 6% back a third-party candidate. U.S. Sen. David Perdue leads Democrat Jon Ossoff 45-39 in a head-to-head matchup, with 12% of voters undecided.

-U.S. Sen. David Perdue leads Democrat Jon Ossoff 45-39 in a head-to-head matchup, with 12% of voters undecided.

- More Georgians said they were most concerned with public health (60%) than the economic impact (36%) of the pandemic.

-A majority of voters disapprove of the way Trump (51%) and Kemp (54%) are handling the pandemic. The General Assembly barely breaks even on the question, and many voters signaled they don’t know what lawmakers are doing.

-About 58% of voters said Georgia is moving “too quickly” to ease restrictions, though most (54%) back social-distancing measures and business closures.

“About 58% of voters said Georgia is moving “too quickly” to ease restrictions”

...that makes 58% that don’t know squat about economics.

So what does the AJC have to say about Joe Biden’s sexual assault claims?

58% like staying home on their enhanced unemployment benefits, which they will lose once their old employers re-open and call them back to work.

Not taking sides on the veracity of this poll, but it is interesting that there is seldom ever a poll that shows the GOP doing well anywhere or on any topic. The democrats are always on the right side of every poll. I honestly believe that if you just shifted the letters behind their names Trump would lead Biden in every state in the union.

That’s what I was getting ready to say. And the Fox “News” polls are the absolute worst. According to Fox, no Republican has a chance of winning anything anywhere at any time. IMHO, these “polls” are published to give the Dem foot soldiers encouragement to press forward with their attacks 60/60/24/7/365. When you feel you’re winning, you’re far more motivated.

Brian Kemp is not up for reelection so the polls don’t matter.

So, stay shut down while most of the country opens up, and the polls would show the voters being pissed off for *not* opening up the state sooner. SMH.

43-52% for Kemp? Would Georgians prefer that ghettopotamus Stacey Abrams?

Georgia is 10% Hispanic now. I saw a state of Georgia Covid freeway sign in Spanish in the Savannah area this week. The days of GA being a solid GOP state are over.

1) She is a nut.

2) She is a slut.

58% think moving too quickly yet 51% disapprove of trump’s handling.

Also, what part of the 51% disapprove because Trump moved too fast.

Let's get this right...

Georgians plan to vindictively vote for a DEMENTED DEMOCRAT instead of a REPUBLICAN STABLE GENIUS.
