Incumbent Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) holds a 14-point lead over Republican challenger, former Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), an InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 Atlanta survey released Sunday found.
As of Friday night, 487,000 people had voted early — four times the number that voted in the 2018 election, Perdue explained.
Former Sen. David Perdue of Georgia, speaks as President Donald Trump looks on, at a campaign rally at Valdosta Regional Airport, December 5, 2020, in Valdosta, Georgia. “The big news is that half of those 487,000 [who] voted early did not vote in ’18. We believe these are MAGA voters,” the gubernatorial hopeful continued, offering his theory:
This is a significant understanding we have after early voting — 487,000 people have voted. Half of those did not vote in ’18. By definition, when pollsters are talking to Republican primary voters, they qualify someone to say if you haven’t voted in each of the last three primaries, we can’t talk to you. They’re only talking to people who voted in the last three primaries. So they’re, by definition, not talking to half the people who have voted so far in Georgia.
“Here’s my prediction. I think that this side, this number is going to continue to stay up above 50 percent. As we go into Tuesday, right now we think another 300,000 or so will vote and, we think more than half of them will be people that didn’t vote in ’18,” he added.
