KEMP, RAFFENSPENGER Both Lead Over Trump Backed Candidates in Georgia

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp holds a more than 20-point lead in the Republican gubernatorial primary race against former Sen. David Perdue (Ga.), according to a new poll by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs on behalf of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The poll, which surveyed likely Republican primary voters, found that 53 percent of voters support Kemp in the race, while 26 percent support Perdue.

Similar results occur when asked whether respondents approve of the men, with Kemp’s favorable rating at 71 percent and Perdue’s at 57 percent.

With the May 24 primary drawing near, Kemp has consistently polled as the favorite in the GOP field.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) is showed to be in a tight race with Rep. Jody Hice (R) in the latest poll by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs on behalf of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The poll shows Raffensperger at 28 percent support among likely Republican primary voters while Hice, who has been endorsed by former President Trump, is at 26 percent.

Raffensberger has drawn the ire of Trump for not backing his false 2020 election claims, while Hice has fully embraced the unfounded conspiracy theory.
