That's way too big a bump to just come from him winning the primary.

I'm certain Perdue will win, but nevertheless...

The polls in this race are bouncing around like sh*t.

I only trust SurveyUSA in GA.

Rassy always had big primary bounces. Perdue might well be up, but only by a few points, IMO.

Rassy has blacks at 25% in this poll. It was 28% in 2010 and 30% in 2008/2012...

I think Rassy poll missed its mark. Nunn, I do believe is even or slightly ahead, despite what Rassy says.

Only 25%? Looks like Rass may have a slight R bias here...

While Black support probably drops modestly for Nunn when compared to Obama, the percentage of the electorate is probably more likely to be 27-29 than 25.

^ Cohn says the composition of the electorate will likely be similar to 2008.

30% is possible.

2012 seems a bit more likely to me.


Regardless, this is decent news for Perdue given that he just needs to keep Nunn under 50.

I agree that lower black turnout than 2008 is more likely. 30% is definitely possible, but it's worth noting that Chambliss still beat back Martin in November '08 by three points with that number, and if a runoff happens this election, turnout will surely nosedive, largely to the benefit of Perdue.

It was 30% in both 2008 and 2012.

Just keep in mind that "low" black turnout (using 2010 as the reference point) is 28%. Also, there will be a greater number of non-whites who aren't black who vote in this election than in 2008.
