    Quinnipiac poll has Warnock in lead by 6% also says GOVERNOR race too close too call.

    Georgia Governor's Race: Too Close To Call, Quinnipiac University Georgia Poll Finds; Georgia Senate Race: Warnock Leads Walker 52% - 46% | Quinnipiac University Poll


    The Georgia governor's race is too close to call as 50 percent of likely voters support Republican incumbent Brian Kemp and 48 percent support Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of likely voters in Georgia released today.

    This is Quinnipiac University's first poll of likely voters in Georgia's 2022 election and cannot be compared to results of earlier polls of registered voters.

    Republicans (98 - 1 percent) back Kemp, while Democrats (97 - 2 percent) back Abrams. Independents are split, with 50 percent backing Abrams and 48 percent backing Kemp.

    Nearly all likely voters (94 percent) who support a candidate in the race for governor say their minds are made up about how they will cast their vote, while 5 percent say they might change their minds before the election.

    mmmm, I’m not a kemp fan but sounded like the student recording him was leading him on and kemp wasn’t committing.

    Didn't listen. Possibly. Maybe the Left is developing their own OKeefe , without the funding, outright criminality and false editing

    Latest polls from 538. Quinnipiac is very credible and has Warnock ahead by a significant margin.

    Center Street PAC appears to be a democrat PAC, so I'd disregard it. 538 has them as unrated so I don't think those polls are reflected in the polling average. They just include these odd ball and biased polls so they collect data on them and rate them ... a low rating means exclusion.

    I tend to agree although their poll of likely voters essentially reflects the results of the very credible Quinnipiac poll.

    I noticed that, too. Sad to see that much difference between likely voters and registered voters. I assume it’s the same people, since the poll was released on the same day, but a large number of Registered voters must have told them they don’t plan to vote… come on people, vote…

    I think you're being unduly negative. In distinguishing likely voters from all registered voters pollsters frequently use past voting history as one of their screens. A respondent who is registered but who usually doesn't vote in midterms would be classified as a registered voter although not a likely voter by a pollster who uses that criterion to screen voters. I suspect one of the reasons that Democrats have outperformed expectations in recent special elections is increased voter turnout from potential voters who had not voted in such elections in the past.

    I feel like it started with W - with wanting your president to be someone you'd most like to have a beer with - and has devolved into voting for the dumbest candidate possible. I guess they're relatable?

    And even weirder is neither Trump nor Biden drink alcohol. It really jumped the shark in that sense.

    The line about having a beer was always even more interesting given that W quit drinking in the 80's.

    Yeah - maybe we should just start with electing presidents that drink beer.
