Georgia Poll: Kemp Holds 25-Point Lead over Perdue, Slim Lead over AbramsAshley Oliver 29 Apr 2022
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) is leading his top primary challenger, former Sen. David Perdue, by a margin of 25 points, according to a poll released Thursday.
The poll, taken by SurveyUSA and commissioned by local outlet 11 Alive, found Kemp with 56-percent support compared to Perdue’s 31 percent. Three other candidates polled in the low single-digits, and eight percent of respondents said they were undecided.
When stacked up against Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, Kemp bested Abrams by five points, 50 percent to 45 percent. Perdue led Abrams by three points, 49 percent to 46 percent.
The poll was conducted from April 22 to 27, about a week before early voting for the May 24 primary is set to begin.
The poll was also taken in the midst of the two candidates kicking off a string of debates that have so far focused largely on Georgia’s 2020 election process, the central issue in Perdue’s campaign.
Former President Donald Trump has been a vocal supporter of Perdue from the immediate outset of Perdue launching his campaign. The former president has backed seven candidates total in Georgia’s primary as he aims to unseat Kemp and Kemp’s allies over his grievances with their management of the 2020 election. The poll tested the primary races of some of those candidates and found they had mixed outcomes.
Trump-endorsed Rep. Jody Hice, who is hoping to unseat Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, is polling 11 points behind Raffensperger, 20 percent to 31 percent. However, a plurality of respondents, 40 percent, said they were undecided on a candidate in that race.
