1. If Trump were to only win Georgia by 2 points...

He'd be toast in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina and Arizona.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. Considering the incredible number of goobers in Georgia

that’s quite encouraging at this point in time.

[lpbk2713]

3. Well of course it does.

The first two words of the subject line says it all.

[lagomorph777]

30. Subtract 8 points of (R) bias, and in a real poll, Trump is fucked.

And just wait 'til the body bags pile up thanks to Trump/Kemp murderous mismanagement in GA.

[ProfessorGAC]

4. Seems Tiny, For Georgia

I didn't read the link, but I'd guess that's within the margin of error.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. Oh, that is why. It's republican, and thus, grossly distorted. Idiots, fine. If they want to hide

the truth of just how bad rump will get his a&& beaten, along w/ his thugs and cronies, they're embarrassed to show just how bad they would get beaten (pretty badly I think).

7. at this stage, republicans want to keep donnie's numbers low to encourage republican donations

"your contribution can make a difference!"

that said, i do think georgia will be close. maybe not a proper "battleground state", but close enough to cause donnie to waste time and money defending it.

[SWBTATTReg]

10. I hope so (waste his money)...there was an article on YouTube that claimed that he is broke,

absolutely broke. No wonder he's pushing for every dollar he can get. All (or a lot of them) his hotels are closed, the banks are screaming bloody murder (and I hope they seize the hotels and properties). Idiot is broke. I love hearing this, scumbag. All along, pretending that he's wealthy and rich, when he broke as a fiddle.

Ha ha heh. Good MF, I hope you suffer.

12. at least as far as his new york properties go, i'm hoping they get condemned and used

as additional hospital beds or something.

ok, i don't really want democrats to abuse government powers the way republicans do, but it would be sweet and appropriate payback....

[SWBTATTReg]

13. Really. Being that he's responsible in a big way for this whole thing, YES. And you're right,

that I don't want democratic governors abusing powers, but the republicans don't see that way unfortunately. They'll do underhanded means of getting what they want, despite what court rulings have said in some cases (e.g., in North Carolina, they keep messing w/ the voting process and such), and other nefarious methods of retaining power. They are not playing nice.

[Lock him up.]

16. Hope Putin is broke too.

And his Oligarchs also.

[SWBTATTReg]

17. I suspect that they are now regretting the announcement w/ the Saudi that they and the Saudi...

are joining together into a partnership. I think the oil markets overreacted quite a bit w/ this news, and then on top of, demand for oil products collapsed. Good timing, eh? At least we get a little benefit from it, being that gas prices at the pump keep going down. Finally. Let's put more money into our own pockets for once, and not theirs. They have had their gravy train for way too long.

6. That's really bad for an incumbent

And that’s a GOP internal poll saying that.

[roamer65]

8. We can take GA.

[gratuitous]

19. It's going to take some work, but yeah

Georgia is definitely within reach in November.

[Volaris]

24. I'd agree, considering the following:

2 percent of the polled electorate, really isnt that many people, given the number that were not polled.. and

Covid-19+Georgia+GOP HEALTHCARE= that many people might have actually died by November

[htuttle]

9. There's a non-trivial chance that the 2% he's ahead by...

...won't be around in November.

[dawg]

11. Hilary got almost 46% of the vote in 2016 ...

and the Libertarian got 3%.

We are not a solid GOP state, but they still control all the levers of power. (So their ability to cheat can make a real difference.)

[edhopper]

14. Kemp will make sure

Trump wins.

[crickets]

18. GA is going absentee for the primary and likely the general election as well.

Kemp is terrified.

Georgia GOP Leader: More Absentee Voting Will Help Turnout, Be 'Devastating To Republicans'

I, however, am filled with glee. GA has been trying to go blue or so close to it for several cycles now, but the machines and the voter suppression tactics have been enough to stave that off. It's about to get really interesting.

[DarthDem]

20. How do we know that they're going absentee for the general?

Won't Kemp have to sign that bill? Seems like something he will veto. Assuming the "Republicans" in the state lege even agree on such a bill, which also seems extremely dubious.

[crickets]

22. We don't - I could be way off, but

1. I don't know that we will all be out and about by then. It depends on how treatments and case loads develop.

2. Once people get a taste of absentee voting, they may just stick with it.

But you're right. I shouldn't just put my own opinion out there on that.

[DarthDem]

23. I hope you're right!

When people vote, Republicans lose. And Democrats - and the people - win. Some of these Southern states may, quite sadly, have no choice but to provide for VBM or absentee voting in November.

[Hoyt]

28. Main reason is that anyone can vote by mail now. By November, even if not mandatory, most folks

will vote by mail.

[DarthDem]

29. Okay - You Sure?

The article linked in the post to which I responded only talks about absentee mail voting for the primary, not the general. That's why I wasn't sure this would carry over to the general. Is there something I missed? I hope so!

[Hoyt]

32. Georgians have been able to vote by mail -- no reason absentee voting -- since 2005 (I think).

After standing in line for 8 hours to vote for John Kerry in 2004, I decided to do it that way going forward.

[DarthDem]

33. Excellent!

This is very good news. Thanks.

[uponit7771]

27. +1

[mucifer]

15. Just remember the closed polling places and all the dirty tricks

[DarthDem]

21. Now this is excellent, excellent news

With two Senate seats up at the same time - which doesn't happen very often - turnout is going to be pretty high. If the GOP has to play defense in Georgia, they may be in some very serious trouble.

[ck4829]

25. That is... shockingly close for GA. Work on those numbers.

[doc03]

26. It's Georgia. The last several weeks when I log into Yahoo news there is

a Trump poll everyday. Newsmax is another one I see constantly on the TV. They apparently have a running
poll every day judging how his supporters react to his daily dog and pony shit show.

[lagomorph777]

31. I've seen that survey on TV. Trumpworld seems a bit jittery about the fanbase.

[tblue37]

34. Within the margin of error. nt
