So who's gonna win today's GA Senate races, and by how much? Predictions?

[Polybius]

I'm sure we won't know who wins until later in the week, but who do you think actually wins? Which race will be closer?

I predict that Kelly Loeffler loses by one point to Raphael Warnock. Her negative ratings are higher than David Perdue, and I believe he wins his race against Jon Ossoff, by about 2 points or less.

Hope I'm wrong, but I see a split ticket. GA still leans Red. I know they voted for Biden, but I just don't see them going for a Democratic Hat Trick.

1. At the risk of sounding too enthusiastic, I'll go ahead and say both will comfortably win their

races. I gotta believe we're better than that "other."

[Vivienne235729]

2. My bet is on both Warnock and Ossoff by 1-2%

[Turin_C3PO]

3. I'm optimistic.

I'm gonna say both our candidates win by about half a percentage point.

[Polybius]

4. I hope you're right

But if they win by half a percentage point, we might not know until next week (which is fine by me).

[soothsayer]

5. Our guys win by 11,780 votes

[Bleacher Creature]

7. That would literally be the greatest thing ever. NT

[appalachiablue]

19. +1

[Cuthbert Allgood]

6. I really don't see a split victory

Could be wrong, though.

[Demsrule86]

8. I am hopeful both Democrats win...those who need money and are hurting know that they will get

the 2000 if the Democrats win.

11. Unless a Gop filibuster be broken, don't hold your breath for $2000

[Polybius]

14. More than 10 GOP Senators have already come out in favor of the $2,000

I think it happens.

[beachbumbob]

16. Not gonna happen, they came out in support knowing it's not happening.

[Amishman]

21. not so sure about that, winning both and showing GA as gone blue will rattle them

I'm thinking a bunch of them will be rather wary of saying No on popular issues

[beachbumbob]

24. I guess you miss the obstruction by GOP during most of Obama's terms??

[Demsrule86]

17. The filibuster would be broken...and GOP Senators don't vote for it a their peril. We have Senate

races coming up in 2022 that favor us...and don't take Manchin's words to heart...he says things like that to help us often. I would bet if Biden says in order to save health care and the economy the filibuster must go, it would go. Also I would bet there is a way to get the money out in reconciliation which bypasses the filibuster.

9. We won't know today

[Polybius]

10. I know

Just trying to get predictions for when we will know.

[BlueTsunami2018]

12. I think the bad guys win.

I would be genuinely shocked if they don’t. Tens of thousands of mail in votes won’t get there in time and they’ve limited drop boxes and early voting days.

They can cry all they want about rigged elections but they’re the ones rigging them. It’s disgusting.

[Demsrule86]

18. Seriously, I think it could go either way.

[Turin_C3PO]

22. Same here.

I think our side will be within a half percentage point, either winning or losing.

[beachbumbob]

15. We saw near 5 million votes cast in Nov, expects about 4 million this

runoff. Like what are the 1 million not voting thinking? So the winner will be the party that has the lesser drop in voting.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

20. I honestly don't know. It could go either way TBH

The insider training scandals and the ongoing mess surrounding Trump and his attempts to overturn Georgia's Presidential election results (and Perdue and Loeffler supporting those efforts) could spill over against them. The Republicans have made some nasty attacks against Warnock, but he seems like he's still a strong candidate. I think that Loeffler is the more vulnerable candidate of the pair, since she was appointed. But Ossoff seems to be stronger in this race against Perdue than he was in his previous race for a House Seat and embarrassed him into avoiding further debates. The early voting results, esp among African-Americans so far seem promising. I would feel better about our Senate chances if we just had to win one race instead of both. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[moonscape]

23. I'm sadly not optimistic and think we lose

both races. While the gotv effort has been amazing, I think the other side shows up also and voter suppression remains a factor. Biden’s win was not by a lot, and if not against Trump he likely wouldn’t have pulled it out. Conservatives against Trump still want divided govt.

So hope I’m wrong.

[Polybius]

25. I stand by my prediction

We’re going to win one, lose one.
