Circling back to Quantus's Georgia poll, since I've finally got the time, it's surprising to me that people mostly really like or really dislike Ossoff. Even as a critic, he doesn't strike me as polarizing.
Collins has a high "very unfavorable" %, but the rest is spread out – at Douglasville, GA
Also, 32% of Georgia's White voters approve of Ossoff, & he's getting 31% of the White vote. That's where GA Dems would want it to win.
Meanwhile, 59% of White voters like Collins, & he's getting 61% of the White vote.
Approval more or less = support for both w/ White voters. – at Douglasville, GA
I still say Ossoff wins because Mike Collins isn't the type of Rep who can unseat an incumbent swing state Dem in a blue year, but Rick Jackson might end up juicing GOP turnout so much with all of his spending that he could drag Collins over the line in spite of Mike's issues. – at Douglasville, GA
For comparison, in 2018, only 1 poll in RCP's average had Kemp leading Abrams by more than 2 pts, and that was Trafalgar's fantasyland poll that had him up 12. #gapol – at Douglasville, GA

I've heard some rumors over the last year or so that George W. Bush & his circle might be trying to reassert themselves in the GOP & back a candidate or two in the 2028 primaries.
You should probably consider this to be a part of their attempts at (re-)building their influence

I remember in 2024 when Dems just stopped responding to polls for like the first time since like 2002. After the Biden debate. You could see the non response bias in real time where the ultra lib whites were suddenly “undecided”
Dems really worship polls so they booted him out

The death of Tasia Fortune, a Black Mississippi woman found hanging from a tree on Aug. 3, has stirred distressing memories of the grim history of lynchings across the U.S. South.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jackson police arrested 51-year-old Jarques Ratliff, a Black man with an association to Tasia Fortune, for her murder on Sept. 11 after the death was ruled a homicide.
