Georgia residents (or others in the know)...

I'm trying to figure out who the Senate candidates are and what are the current polling numbers....

This is what I need clarity on:

Raphael Warnock (D) Vrs. Kelly Loeffler (R) ?

Jon Ossoff (D) Vrs. David Perdue (R) ?

Are there two seats in the running at the same time? Do I have the correct candidates? If so, does anyone know what the poll numbers are in these races? I've googled and am getting conflicting information.

Thanks for your help (I've also posted in General Discussion).

If you see the ballot, there's towns in GA smaller than the # of people running for that senate seat bmpbmp Oct 2020 #12

Funtatlaguy is right. I'm really liking Warnock's ads. Hoyt Sep 2020 #2

Regular election.
David Perdue up for re-election vs. Dem Ossoff.

Special election
To replace retiring Jonny Issackson
This is called a jungle primary.
Several republicans, Several Democrats, and independents on ballot.
The top two finishers will face off in a January runoff.

Thanks for the input.

Wow, I've NEVER heard of a jungle primary. That would certainly explain why I got such confusing information.

Okay, so Perdue & Ossoff - regular election - Do you know what the poll numbers are on these two?

If no candidate gets 50% plus one vote, then the top two vote getters in the jungle primary go to a runoff in January 2021.

Vote Warnock (D-GA )!

There is currently an internal power struggle in the Georgia GOP.
Senator Loeffler (R-GA) is a proxy for Governor KKKEMP.
Congressman Collins (R-GA) is a proxy for the Republican Speaker of the Georgia House, David Ralston.
