It appears that it's now a thing among Republicans to lie to pollsters, in an effort to hide the true level of support for Republican candidates.

It's not the pollsters' fault. Republicans lie.

but I live here. I STILL cannot figure out why people would vote for Perdue or Loeffler. What in the world do they offer anyone? Just the Republican name?

He's a good ole boy with some name recognition and she's a robotic appointee from nowhere. I don't get it.

Charlie brown is a Democrat
Lucy is a rethug that lies to pollsters and says she's voting Democrat

Lovely polls but keep the money flowing to Ossoff and Warnock. Donate and help in every way possible. The Biden administration will function so much better for America if we can win these two senate seats. Donate today.
