538 yesterday had Warnock 51-49. Today it’s Walker 52-48. 6 point swing in 1 day??

I wonder if the repeated “abortion” stories are starting to ring hollow in the ears of even the most staunch democrat? It honestly makes them look like their internal polling is telling them even worse news.

The debate changed everything. Walker came off as reasonable and not brain dead, so he kind of flipped the narrative, and exposed the media’s portrayal of him.

Polls mean nothing. It’s going to come down to turnout and/or level of fraud involved.

Dems adore abortion. So a nice man giving a lady a ride to an abortion clinic likely won over a few Dems.

Dems shoulda stuck with the classic sexual harrassment bs. But abortion is one of the key issues they want to push this election.

Classic poll manipulation to make the party with the "lead" have reduced turnout due to thinking they're "safe".

Same as the OZ/Fetterman race.

I’ve followed every major election since I was a kid, and you don’t normally see point swings like that in 1 day without something major happening. Walker has been slowly gaining for a few weeks, but usually just incrementally.

Hopefully either the projected volume of Kemp-Warnock split ticket voters decreases or Kemp does even better than what the polls say. Kemp will likely get 3-4% more of the vote than Walker, so if Kemp gets over 53% against gap-tooth then there's a good chance Walker gets over 50% and avoids a runoff.

I understand that split ticket voters still exist but I don't understand the difference between Kemp and Walker being 4%. If those people aren't voting for gap-tooth then why are they voting for Warnock? Is he really doing that good of a job of conning voters into thinking he's "moderate"?

Same polling service?

Surely you understand that different services tend to produce results more friendly to one party or the other.

They’ll start acknowledging the truth the closer we get to election date. That’s what’s happening.

538 is an aggregate service/model projection. Not always accurate, but they take in a lot of info.

Because most people dont care that the democrats are saying that walker did something legal back in 1993.

I did not notice the “538.” Thx

Their site still shows Warnock leading by 1.7 points.

The graphic is cool. It shows the trends, but also a scatterplot of the underlying data points.

OP what is your source?

Walker has led in like 4 of the last 5 polls with the only one he wasn't leading in a tie. This isn't a sudden switch it's a gradual one. Something like a week ago Nate had it at something like 65-35 Warnock.

I was talking about their model projection numbers, here.

That being said, I’m not sure how the two could be so different.

I think that the take-away here is that it is still a very close race, probably within the margin of error for any sort of polling.

Georgia voters are letting the reality sink in that inflation is killing them.
I also think this second story, which sounds ridiculous and was brought by a California liberal, it getting tiresome.
The negative ads are just overwhelming and I think Georgians are just over them!
