As Early Voting Starts, Democrat Michelle Nunn Pulls Ahead by 3 Points in Georgia

Is Georgia turning purple?

More good news for Democrats as the “GOP wave” we’ve heard so much about disintegrates.

As early voting starts in Georgia (click here to find your early voting locations), Democrat Michelle Nunn is leading her Republican opponent for the first time in the Georgia Senate race. Nunn leads Perdue by three points among likely voters in a new poll.

In an exclusive poll by Survey USA for Atlanta’s WXIA 11Alive, Michelle Nunn leads by 48% among likely voters, to David Perdue’s 45%. The Libertarian, Amanda Swafford, gets 3% of the vote, which 11Alive points out is just enough to possibly force a runoff in the state.

Here’s the best part. Nunn has gained points with men and independents, where she still trails but is closing the gap. “She still trails men by 3%, but five weeks ago, she was trailed among men by 19%. She also saw improvement among independents, 6 points behind Perdue instead of the 28 points in August.” That’s a lot of heat.

Democrats have reserved a cool “$1 million more for ads” according to Politico, which they attribute to Democrats seeing “the Senate race moving in their direction thanks to attacks against Republican David Perdue’s record of outsourcing.”

6. Most of Georgia is hopping mad over what the GOP has done to education. The teachers who sat on

Roy Barnes are about to show back up to the polls now that they've just found out their insurance rates are going up substantially. The rate increases were discussed at a meeting where I work the other day. Lots of gnashing of teeth.
