(69,643 posts)I think the split is among white Republicans and Independents who are fed up with Trump and voted against Loeffler, but are ok with Perdue.

(12,114 posts)The split is more about Loeffler than anything. She's an appointed carpetbagger who is also tone deaf.

(69,643 posts)We've talked about various reasons why folks might vote against Loeffler but support Perdue. I think those biases are likely to be held by fewer people in urban areas.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
