I'm trying to figure out who the Senate candidates are and what are the current polling numbers....

This is what I need clarity on:

Raphael Warnock (D) Vrs. Kelly Loeffler (R) ?

Jon Ossoff (D) Vrs. David Perdue (R) ?

Are there two seats in the running at the same time? Do I have the correct candidates? If so, does anyone know what the poll numbers are in these races? I've googled and am getting conflicting information.

Thanks for your help (I've also posted in General Discussion).

1. Yes, there are two races at once.

Regular election.
David Perdue up for re-election vs. Dem Ossoff.

Special election
To replace retiring Jonny Issackson
This is called a jungle primary.
Several republicans, Several Democrats, and independents on ballot.
The top two finishers will face off in a January runoff.

Thanks for the input.

Wow, I've NEVER heard of a jungle primary. That would certainly explain why I got such confusing information.

Okay, so Perdue & Ossoff - regular election - Do you know what the poll numbers are on these two?

7. If any candidate gets 50% + 1 vote in the Nov. Jungle Primary, they win.

If no candidate gets 50% plus one vote, then the top two vote getters in the jungle primary go to a runoff in January 2021.

Vote Warnock (D-GA )!


There is currently an internal power struggle in the Georgia GOP.
Senator Loeffler (R-GA) is a proxy for Governor KKKEMP.
Congressman Collins (R-GA) is a proxy for the Republican Speaker of the Georgia House, David Ralston.

12. If you see the ballot, there's towns in GA smaller than the # of people running for that senate seat

2. Funtatlaguy is right. I'm really liking Warnock's ads.

5. Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a page dedicated to polls. Although they are usually

behind a paywall, they have opened it during the pandemic.

ETA: Well, it's not very up-to-date. Nate Silver's 538 site looks current: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/senate/
