I don't understand the Georgia poll results so far.

Kemp has a significant lead on Abrams, yet Walker is about 4 points behind Warnock. How could some of the same people voting for Kemp also vote for Warnock over Walker? Makes no sense to me and makes me think the fix is in again.

Kemp is a better candidate than Abrams

Warnock is a better candidate than Walker

Not everybody votes party line and they certainly don’t poll that way.

In the end I think Kemp will win it for Walker.

Warnock supports the same agenda that Abrams supports. A vote against Abrams should also translate into a vote against Warnock. Still makes no sense to me. I don't believe this poll at all. Something fishy is going on here. Just my opinion.

Well, actually I do and I bet that you do, too. I don't believe in the results of either, though. 81,000,000 votes? I don't think so, Tim.

The question is do they make it blatant this year or put up enough fake Rs they let win for plausible deniability.

There's not a chance in hell the polls are accurate. There's no universe where Kemp wins comfortably (say by 5%+) and Walker loses.

Split ticket voting is not really a thing anymore. Decades ago it was more common, these days it's almost non-existent.

My prediction is they both win together or both lose together.

In the world where Kemp wins and Walker doesn't, it means Kemp won by a very small amount and Walker lost by a very small amount.

Independents don't always vote straight ticket. If they did they probably wouldn't be independents.

There are more people who identify as independent than as identify in either political party.

I always found it strange folks will vote straight party line. Some of the candidates for each party are absolute fricking loons.

I don’t understand why some don’t seem to realize this reality.

Foxnews poll? Red state skewered the poll results as using registered voters and not likely voters. They agree with those itt the results are bogus.

Speaking as someone in Georgia and literally lives near where he grew up... It's because the only people voting for Walker are voting for the R. He's an embarrassment of a candidate.

There is no reason to vote for him beyond not voting for Warnock. If the Republicans had put up someone competent, they'd be far far ahead.

I will be voting Kemp. I likely will leave Warnock/Walker blank.

Ironic in a post that includes you calling someone else an embarrassment.

Herschel couldn't make a middle school debate team. That's not who I want representing me. I'm not obligated to vote for someone just because of the letter next to their name.

You should be embarrassed you don’t understand the difference between a shitty middle school debater and a Democrat representing you in the Senate.

I'm an independent. When given 2 bad options, I'm not lending my vote to either.

I don't like Warnock and would vote against him given a decent option

IDK Could it be because Walker's a bumbling idiot?

Foxnews poll...

Think they have changed their stance since 2020? Probably not.

The MAGA Candidates, especially Senate, are facing pushback not just from the F-ing insane Dems and anyone who even looks in their direction and says "yeah, that makes sense".
But from the establishment who has held the levers of power for decades, and are trying to putdown a revolution from the people who don't want to "eat zeh bugs".

You'd rather have a communist who'd abolish the filibuster at first chance in order to ram through his brand of racist, chauvinistic, redistributional socialism?

But, but, but ... he debates better ... BTW, Warnock's Lincoln-Douglas debate skills must be why Warnock insisted Walker debate him 3X with Warnock cronies moderating each venue. Right? Because, for example, if Mike Tyson is fighting Richard Simmons, Mike's going to insist on 3 chances, and that the referee and judges be stacked against Simmons too. That's what clearly the way these things go. Yes?

Look IDK WTF GA was thinking in their candidate selections ... for either side. Neither meets the "who I want representing me" standard. Neither comes close. So now, with a pair of poor candidates, it comes down to a simple question of party seat to determine control in the Senate. Your choice is obviously to support racist, chauvinistic, redistributional socialism. Just be honest about it.
