Jon Ossoff vs. Mike Collins: New GOP Poll Gives Race Update 50 Days Out
Ossoff is running for reelection in a state Trump won in 2024, but polls are giving the Democrat a lead over Mike Collins.
In a new poll, Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff leads Republican Representative Mike Collins by more than six points in the Georgia Senate race. The survey, conducted by Trafalgar Group, was published before the 50-day mark ahead of the November 3 midterms. Ossoff received 49.4 percent of respondents' support, while Collins had 42.8 percent of the vote.
Only 1.3 percent of respondents would vote for Libertarian candidate Allen Buckley, while 6.5 percent were undecided. The race is particularly competitive due to Georgia's shift towards competitiveness, with the blue-shifting Atlanta metro area playing a role in the change. Despite Trump carrying Georgia in 2024, Democrats hope his declining approval rating could be an advantage for Ossoff.
The Ossoff campaign spokesperson stated, "Georgia is a battleground state and Senator Ossoff is already facing millions of dollars of Republican spending against him. The Ossoff campaign will continue to build unstoppable momentum and work to earn every vote across the state of Georgia."
