President Trump and Joe Biden are in a statistical tie in the once heavily Republican bastion of Georgia, according to a poll commissioned by the state's GOP.
Trump attracts 45.1% support to Biden's 44%, separated by roughly a single percentage point, Cygnal pollsters found in the survey released Friday. An additional 4.5% of voters are undecided, while 6.5% would cast a ballot for a third-party candidate.
The research also bears bad news for Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who is under fire for his slow response to the coronavirus pandemic and his decision to ease stay-at-home restrictions, even though Georgia is still reporting new COVID-19 cases. A majority of Georgians disapprove of how both Trump and Kemp are handling the crisis, but Kemp isn't up for reelection until 2022.
Aside from the presidential contest, Georgia voters will decide two Senate races in November's elections as well.
