Even with the wonderful Stacey Abrams doing her best with Fair Fight it is an uphill battle. I often think that we may have to resort to drastic measures to overcome Kemp's evil ways: maybe it's time that the Dems in GA change their official registration to repub so their ballots stand a fighting chance. At the very least, we know that Kemp isn't going to purge registered repugs from the rolls....

Nate Silver was emphasizing throughout 2016 that Hillary's lead was more fragile than it looked due to comparatively high number of undecideds. Obviously a 46-40 lead is less significant than a 52-46 lead, even though both will sloppily be quoted as similar, emphasizing merely the margin.

Check out how many more undecideds there are in the Georgia senate race than the presidential race. I think we'll see that throughout the country. It will benefit the leader in state after state. Considerably more difficult to rally when not many haven't made up their mind.

Advantage to Biden overall, even if I'm not confident about Georgia. That state has a long history of polling that overstates the Democrat, although it has improved somewhat recently.
