Georgia Election 2014 Update: Michelle Nunn, David Perdue Tied Among Millennial Likely Voters.
And those over 65 favor Perdue by 57%. I'm not shocked it's tied among Millennials, this is the Bible Belt after all but still. You'd think in the age of the internet...
I've also been reading that polling can't be relied on as it has been in the past; I'm wondering how cell phones figure into the Millennial polling number.
