I think the bottom line is that Georgians are at least open to a Democratic Governor this year. Let's see if Georgia Democrats can run a good campaign or not.

GOP runoff will be a major boon to the Democratic nominee, as a Democratic runoff is looking unlikely.

After Alabama, this race, and potentially McDaniel in MS, wouldn't surprise me if GOP pushes to eliminate runoffs.

Not sure how it affects Alabama except the Moore story might have broken sooner. He won the first round, too.

GA has a run-off system and I am holding out hope Abrams makes the run-off.

Still a high % undecided in both primaries. From this poll, Abrams seems like the stronger GE candidate, narrowly, but the undecided %s are roughly the same for both.

Nothing too amazing or different from other cycles in these GE numbers; Democrats in Georgia basically start in polling with 40% and the GOP closer to 45%. I've yet to see anything that suggests GA will behave fundamentally different this cycle than in previous ones (i.e. electing Democrats; though polling is obviously sparse). If Stacey crosses 45% before Cagle starts hitting 50%, then we might have a race.

Those primary numbers, though...I can understand why people aren't bothering to poll the primary: useless. It also wouldn't surprise me one bit if those undecideds don't decrease by any meaningful amount between now and May.
