Trump has a lot of support in the state of Georgia despite the metro area and it is going to make a difference at the ballot box. This election has nothing in common with midterm or special elections from that perspective they are totally different.

Ossoff is going to get crushed.
Actually Trump lost the vote in the 6 district in national election back in 2016. Infact Democrats actually expand more into suburban Atlanta during 2016 election flipping Cobb, gwinnett and Henry blue in the first place.

Also Democrats actually vote higher in national election then midterms. And Trump is a divisive fugue he motivated Republicans as much he motivated Dems to vote against him. I'm not say Trump will win or lose GA, but it's actually probably be a closer race than 2016. This also depends wins on top of ticket for Democrats. Will effect people down.

Trump streagy is pretty much create an enemy and play the victim. Because of this Trump can do no wrong he's only the victim. So everything is the "fake news" fault. And people who criticize him are Trump "haters" Basically Trump supporters are going we only accept criticism from un bias sources, in which everything that disagree with him is bias. So any legit criticism just hasn't happen yet.

You just proved my point. Trump losing in the 6th district has NOTHING to do with a statewide Senate election. Trump has huge support outside of the metro area. His supporters are going to be out in droves in 2020 and they will be voting for straight republicans. Which is why I tried to explain that house district elections are very different than Senate elections especially in Presidential election years. Ossoff still lost in the 6th with tons of money at his disposal and he will lose again when Republicans are out voting for Trump in a Presidential election. Trump being on the ballot in 2020 is going to make a huge difference for those Senate seats. If you want to ignore it be my guest. Basically every politician these days is a 'divisive' figure it is the world we live in.

Yes it is. Abrams nearly won the governorship last year, if you have already forgotten, and she would have had the election been clean.

Trump's approval ratings remain stuck in the low 40s despite his inheriting of the Obama economy. If we get a recession, he's toast, and he'll drag his whole party down with him.

Purple States don't have 2 republican Senators a republican governor and a republican Lt Governor and a state house that is full of republicans. Georgia is not evenly divided by republicans and Democrats.

1. The Georgia legislature is heavily gerrymandered. So are our US House districts. The ratio of total Democratic/Republican votes is much closer than the number of seats.
2. US Senators have six-year terms. That gives some time for demographics to change.
3. The gubernatorial election last year was very close and would have gone the other way without vote-rigging.
4. Also in other statewide races the margins are getting closer.

Which is why I said in 2 election cycles Georgia has a chance to be a purple state. It isn't currently. What you posted doesn't make Georgia a purple state currently. Georgia is not a battleground state currently.

Nothing you listed has a thing to do with being a Purple State. Georgia is not a swing state or a battleground state which in turn makes it not a Purple State. Yet.
