AlterNet: “Most polls have been showing Kemp with single-digit leads over Abrams. In early September, a Fox 5/InsiderAdvantage poll showed Abrams trailing Kemp by 8 percent. But a Quinnipiac poll released on September 14 showed Kemp leading Kemp by only 2 percent, which was a hopeful sign for Abrams’ campaign.
According to Never Trump conservative and former Republican Tim Miller, Georgia’s “Kemp-Warnock voters” are an example of an “increasingly rare breed” in the United States: “the split-ticket voter.”
In an article published by The Bulwark on September 19, Miller explains, “The split-ticketer’s decline has been thoroughly documented by our foremost political biologists. The number of House districts that have a representative from a different party than their presidential vote has plummeted this decade…. In fact, the current Senate has the fewest split-ticket delegations since the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment gave us the direct election of senators.”
But Peach State residents who are planning to vote for GOP incumbent Kemp and Democratic incumbent Warnock, according to Miller, indicate that the “split-ticketer might recover in Georgia.””
