The two Georgia Senate runoffs that will determine the balance of power in the upper chamber on January 5 are very close, a new poll finds. The survey conducted by Big Data Poll finds both Democratic candidates are benefiting from turnout questions for Republicans.
Democratic challenger John Ossoff holds a slight lead over incumbent Republican Senator David Perdue 47% to 44.5%, with 8.6% undecided. Raphael Warnock leads Republican Kelly Loeffler 47.6% to 43.4%, with 9.1% undecided.
Mr. Perdue was formerly a businessman before he defeated Democratic nominee Michelle Nunn in 2014 and is now the senior senator from Georgia. He received a larger share of the vote compared to Mr. Ossoff on November 3, 49.73% to 47.95%, respectively.
