GA-GOV: New poll shows virtual tie between Abrams, Kemp with 2 months to go
ATLANTA - The gubernatorial race is shifting into high gear, and a new Channel 2 Action News/Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll shows the race is a statistical tie.
Both Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp each have about 45 percent of support from voters in the new poll.
The UGA School of Public and International Affairs polled just over 1,000 people.
Republican Brian Kemp received 45.3 percent of the support while 44.9 percent of those polled support Democrat Stacey Abrams.
But with a margin of error at just over 3 percent, the race is a statistical tie with barely two months before the general election.
Channel 2’s Richard Elliot showed the results of the poll to Republican strategist Brian Robinson and Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson.
“This is huge for Stacey Abrams,” Johnson said.
Johnson says the poll numbers show the viability of Abrams campaign.
The poll shows 43 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of her while 26 percent do not.
“This shows the viability of her becoming governor is real. This is going to be something she can take all across Georgia and say, ‘I can win this race, but I need your help,’” Johnson said.
“The question today is, 'Have the tectonic plates changed?'” Robinson said.
