Two percentage points separate whether the Georgia Senate race will end on Tuesday or drag on in to January with a runoff, according to a new survey.
The final NBC News/Marist poll before Election Day shows Republican David Perdue at 48 percent among likely voters, making him within reach of the 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff. His Democratic opponent, Michelle Nunn, is at 44 percent. Four percent say they remain undecided in the closing days.
In the event of a runoff between Nunn and Perdue, the poll finds the Republican continues to hold the edge. Perdue leads 49 percent to Nunn’s 46 percent among likely voters, with 4 percent undecided.
The poll has a 4 percent margin of error.
