Sample consisted of 509 likely voters. That means the sample was not restricted to republican voters. That is because GA has open primaries. Same sample has Kemp over Perdue by 11 points. Of course the Dems will vote in the Republican primaries for Kemp and Raffensburger. After all, if the real Democrats lose in November, then next best thing for Dems is to see a RINO traitor elected.

There is the "silent Trump voter" syndrome effect to consider, which I think is going to be at least double what it was in 2016. I would imagine that this "sample" went through thousands of people before it got to above 500 sampled. And ain't it funny how these polling companies will NEVER publish that number? Answer: because a poll of 500 people giving the lead to RINOs would be meaningless if you knew that 2000 people told the pollster to pound sand before they could find 500 participants. That would mean if the people who refused to be part of the poll had accepted, they are more than likely Trump voters and these poll numbers would be very different.

Republicans will need to turn out for the primary as if their lives depended on it. If Kemp and Raffensburger win their respective primaries, it will be due to Democrat cross-over votes. If that is the case, then get used to the Water Buffalo being governor, along with a Democrat Secretary of State. I can't envision a single Trump voter turning out for Kemp or Raffensburger in the general.

That is because GA has open primaries.

Just like the at-large representation in my county, Arlington, VA, open primaries are actual products of structural racism:

In Arlington County, the at-large representation was instituted in the 1930s to keep local blacks, whose population was growing, from having direct representation on the County Council.

Open primaries were instituted across the South in order to to ensure Democrat control of Republican candidates and to make sure no one got on the ticket who might be black or against segregation.

Those open primaries need to stop. Democrats should only be allowed to vote in democrat primaries, republicans in republican primaries, and independents in independent primaries.
