Just seems misleading to me and makes the difference look even more drastic than it is to drive home their point. I dunno, I guess I am lone on this, but they could have made the same point using per capita numbers
Of course and I even said that correcting for population doesn't change the results too much, but saying similarly sized countries when they are not in fact similarly sized is misleading.

SurveyUSA has Warnock +7 and Ossoff +2 right now. The last time they ran a poll in Georgia before the election they found:
Biden +2
Perdue +3
and
Warnock 30%
Loeffler 26%
Collins 20%
Lieberman 8%
Let's compare that with the actual result from Election Day:
Biden +.2
Perdue +1.8
and
Warnock 32.9%
Loeffler 25.9%
Collins 20%
Lieberman 2.8%
Those are ABSURDLY good results for a poll, so I would at the very least be encouraged by what they have to say about the race in Georgia right now.
Polls! In case there are those among you who haven't sworn them off yet:
