Assuming next week is more favorable to the GOP than current returns, our model suggests Perdue, as of right now, needs a ~63.5-36.5 statewide surge on election day...and the general was 61.2-38.8.
Not impossible! But it means they have a tougher task now than in November.
1) The GOP *definitely* has a path to victory still and if you don't believe it, you're reading too much into what you want to believe 2) The GOP is in a worse spot right now than they were in November, and they rely more on election day as a result.
Reposted because I got one stat slightly wrong about the general in my last tweet that I wanted to correct
of course, thanks to @ADincgor for the stats and for the model work as usual.

What were you expecting? It's Christmas Eve and there was snow in Atlanta with just a couple counties open. Everyone there was probably freezing their #Ossoff.
Okay, yeah, more convinced that today was not what the GOP needed. I'll post a thread tomorrow, but here's a brief summary for anyone insane enough to be awake right now:
When sorting by turnout rate as a percentage of votes cast in the 2020 general election, the top 4 (and 5 of the top 6) districts were all won by Joe Biden.
7 of the bottom 8 districts were won by Donald Trump.
I've got a few DMs telling me to slow it down because I'm just giving the Republicans strategy tips, and I want to point something out: The GOP know this, and they've known this for a while. This is all public data. If it was this easy to reverse, they'd have done so already.
