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
Quantus poll | 9/14-9/16 LV US Senate Georgia 2026 🟦Jon Ossoff 48.2% (incumbent) 🟥Mike Collins 44.4% —— (Leaners pushed) 🟦Jon Ossoff 49.0% (incumbent) 🟥Mike Collins 44.9%

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 suspect most undecided White voters will come around to Collins because his percentage with them here is abnormally low even for a bad GOP candidate in Georgia. Trump managed 69% of the White vote in GA in 2020, and Walker managed 70% in round 1 in 2022. – 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

If anything, I think Rick Jackson's people are worried about Mike Collins being a drag on the ticket, but of course, I'm sure Ossoff's people feel the same way about KLB. – 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
Just as an anecdote: I've been contacted multiple times for polls this cycle and I do not answer. I'm about as politically engaged as you get, and even I don't answer polls (local, state, national). So if other Rs are doing that, then yes there is a response bias.

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.

It's a rare case of a high ranking Republican from the Bush administration committing to helping the GOP in the Trump era. – at Druid Hills, GA

Paxton's ex-wife is doing more to help him than John Cornyn. – at Druid Hills, GA
Angela Paxton is breaking her silence on Ken Paxton's Senate race, after accusing him of infidelity in divorce proceedings. Without naming him, she told a group of GOP women to vote the ticket, "even when we're mad at them" more from @birenbomb texastribune.org/2026/09/22/…
