In a report from The Daily Caller:
The Republican incumbents are favored by voters over age 65, while those under 30 tended to support their Democratic challengers, the poll revealed.
“The data revealed there is little crossover support, which suggests one party should win both seats,” said Spencer Kimball, Director of Emerson College Polling.
While male voters tended to support the GOP candidate at 53% to 47%, female voters were more split, supporting Ossoff and Loeffler at 50% to 49%.
Emerson College polled 605 respondents from December 14 – 16 and has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
Other pollsters have also reported the two Republicans in the lead.
