"The automated survey, commissioned by Better Georgia, has Kingston with 47 percent among Republican voters and Perdue trailing with 41 percent. The remainder are undecided...."

"PPP also did a separate poll of 664 Georgia voters that found Kingston trailed Democrat Michelle Nunn in the Senate contest 44 percent to 41 percent, and Perdue behind her by a slightly larger margin: 48 percent to 41 percent."

"The automated survey, commissioned by Better Georgia..."

≅ Internal ?

"The automated survey, commissioned by Better Georgia..."

≅ Internal ?

Better Georgia is a liberal group supporting Nunn, so I think it would qualify as a quasi-internal.

Either way, I guess Perdue is the weaker candidate. He's made and has the capacity to make gaffes that I believe Kingston is experienced enough not to.

Whoa, this is interesting.

It is a D internal though, so that should be considered. 

Georgia polls are all over the map.

[Adam Griffin]

Glorious news! Even with a house bias/margin of error, we're still in the same position we've been all this time: a statistical tie. Georgia's tipping, y'all.

[Maxwell]

Perdue's ads are actually having an effect on undecideds and other voters, and that will be crucial in the general election. If Perdue wins the primary, I think he has a better shot at turning this around in the general.

[Barnes]

IMO, Perdue will be able to more successfully win over undecided voters in both the runoff and in the general with that garbage "businessman, outsider, blah blah" charade Republicans always pull here.

[GaussLaw]

Yeah, I think Perdue is more electable as he is from the Atlanta suburbs and is able to mitigate the biggest advantage of Nunn, her last name.

[Vosem]

I'm confident Kingston and Perdue are both capable of holding Nunn below 50 in November (even if they finish behind on paper) and then defeating her in a runoff.
