Literally tied in both the Gubernatorial and Senate races? Not exactly buying that.

Upon further review, this firm is even more laughable: dead heat now in both while their last polls showed a D+3 lead in both. Every one of their polls have shown Nunn and Carter ahead except this batch. Stick a fork in both of them.

Looks like deal is going to sneak through. Landmark has had a heavy Dem bias this year.

MoE +/- 3.1%, and this one is within the previous two polls. The first that showed Carter with insane leads (+7 and +8) were taken at the peak of the ethics/Holly LaBerge scandal (Landmark, likewise, never showed Nunn with such massive leads during that time), and weren't ever reflective of the true nature of the race. Georgia isn't that elastic.

Landmark is a Republican firm, so you might want to ponder why they've had such a Democratic bias in the first place.

republican firm or not, their polls have shown more D leaning results than any other pollster.

Baring a gamechanger event, the only real question in both GA races is whether the Republicans win outright or in a runoff.

Yeah, to the point of lunacy and trolling. Now they're moving back to where the race has been all along, so that some will still consider them to be a credible polling firm when one candidate or another wins in the low single digits.

I'm thinking runoff, but either is plausible.

Yeah, my money's on runoffs too.

Deal will lose.
