Are Democrats leading in Georgia? Polls show Senate, governor split
(USA Today) The midterm elections are just a few months away, and the races in Georgia may be some of the most consequential in the United States. The state will soon have a new governor and senator, but many voters may be submitting split tickets.
On the national level, incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is hoping to keep the MAGA base at bay and defeat Trump-endorsed Rep. Mike Collins for six more years in Congress. Ossoff ran unopposed in the Democratic primary while Collins had to compete not only in the initial Republican primary but an additional runoff race in June, ultimately coming out on top against former college football coach Derek Dooley.
The governor's mansion is also being vacated this year as two-term Republican Governor Brian Kemp is term limited and passing the torch to a new leader. Kemp gave a last-minute endorsement to his Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the days before a runoff race against healthcare CEO Rick Jackson, but Jackson prevailed in June and will be taking on former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Early polling for both races show results may come down to the wire, but one race is a little more clear-cut than the other.
