Georgia Poll: Kemp Holds Lead over Perdue in Governor’s Race; Herschel Walker Dominates Senate PrimaryAshley Oliver 3 Mar 2022
Gov. Brian Kemp continues to hold a modest lead over former Sen. David Perdue in the heated Republican primary race for governor in Georgia, according to a poll published Thursday.
The poll, conducted February 28 to March 1 by Fox5 Atlanta/InsiderAdvantage, showed Kemp leading Perdue by nine points, 44 percent to 35 percent. Three percent of respondents backed right-wing candidate Kandiss Taylor, who remains in a distant third place, and another 15 percent said they were undecided or had no opinion.
Kemp’s lead is consistent with that of two other recent polls. A Quinnipiac poll conducted in January showed Kemp with a seven-point edge over Perdue, and a Trafalgar survey taken in February had the governor at a ten-point advantage over his opponent.
The primary race is being closely watched across the country largely because former President Donald Trump has drawn attention to it by repeatedly voicing his desire to unseat Kemp because of Trump’s disapproval of Georgia’s 2020 election process.
Trump quickly announced his endorsement of Perdue when Perdue entered the race in December and sought to strengthen Perdue’s position in the race by urging Democrat-turned-Republican Vernon Jones, a former state representative, to drop out of the gubernatorial primary and instead compete in a congressional race. Jones did so on February 7 and received Trump’s coveted endorsement for his congressional bid just two days later.
