Polls

See also: Ballotpedia's approach to covering polls

Polls are conducted with a variety of methodologies and have margins of error or credibility intervals.[6] The Pew Research Center wrote, "A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points at the 95% confidence level means that if we fielded the same survey 100 times, we would expect the result to be within 3 percentage points of the true population value 95 of those times."[7] For tips on reading polls from FiveThirtyEight, click here. For tips from Pew, click here.

Below we provide results for polls that are included in polling aggregation from FiveThirtyEight and RealClearPolitics, when available. Click here to read about FiveThirtyEight's criteria for including polls in its aggregation. We only report polls for which we can find a margin of error or credibility interval.

Campaign finance

This section contains campaign finance figures from candidates submitted to the Georgia Campaign Finance Commission in this election. It does not include information on spending by satellite groups. Click here to access the reports.


Satellite spending

See also: Satellite spending

Satellite spending describes political spending not controlled by candidates or their campaigns; that is, any political expenditures made by groups or individuals that are not directly affiliated with a candidate. This includes spending by political party committees, super PACs, trade associations, and 501(c)(4) nonprofit groups.[22][23]

If available, satellite spending reports by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and OpenSecrets.org are linked below. FEC links include totals from monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual reports. OpenSecrets.org compiles data from those reports as well as 24- and 48-hour reports from the FEC.[24]

Details about satellite spending of significant amounts and/or reported by media are included below those links. The amounts listed may not represent the total satellite spending in the election. To notify us of additional satellite spending, email us.

Race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[25]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[26][27][28]

Candidate Connection

President Boddie completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2022. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Boddie's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.

Expand all | Collapse all

President R. Boddie, many have wondered how could one man can come into their community, and 'turn it around' in such a very short period of time? It is for that very reason, here today, that President Boddie is 'now' running for the 'State of Georgia's highest office, which is Governor. He says,"I am running for Governor of Georgia to force long-awaited change!
  • President R. Boddie is running for the office of Governor of Georgia as a 'Independent Candidate' as a qualified Write-In Candidate.
  • President Boddie is 'now' running for the 'State of Georgia's highest office, which is Governor. He says,"I am running for Governor of Georgia to force long-awaited change!
  • President R. Boddie is not merely a Politician. He is 'A Good Person'; better yet, 'A Real Person' who genuinely cares about fixing the 'Real Problems' that 'Real People face every day, (Especially his fellow Georgians).
Mr. Boddie's 'Love' and 'Passion for God, and People, is evident in his dynamic platform which includes 'ElderCare', K-PhD, 'New Jobs', 'No Crime', 'The New Georgia Department of Real Food & Public Safety', 'Real Elections', 'Real HealthCures', and 'NO MORE' Suspended Drivers License', and so much more...
In the year 2005, Gwinnett County was considered to be the 'gang capital' of Georgia. The youth were out of control. Young girls were being influence with all forms of 'ecstasy pills', sex recreational drugs, and the young boys were fighting each other (as 'Bloods & Crips') and they even had a game called 'Anybody Can Get It'. The Police did not have any answers. The Community was troubled. It seems that all hope was lost, until January 2006. President R. Boddie was appointed as Director of Atlantis 'Youth Motivational Center by its founder, Dr. Leon Moss. It is here, that President Boddie invited 'at risk youth/gang members' to participate in a exciting gospel/'hip-hop' stageplay (referred to as 'Dope Opera'). There, they would learn how to Love themselves, and have Faith in God, while realizing that the actions that 'they were acting out' in the streets - were dangerous and ridiculous!

Many of the 'youth performers' would ask "Is this how we were acting "? And 'Boddie' would simply say "Yes!". At that point, the kids realize that they needed to change their lives. Many of them left 'gang culture' on the spot; some even burned their 'flags' as a symbol that they are no longer affiliated with 'gang culture'. Boddie's actions proved to be successfully positive and attracted the newspaper, The Atlanta Journal and Constitution. *refer to article 'Antidote to Gangsta Poison' by Ken Satura (dated Feb 11, 2006)!

Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
