Stacey Abrams trails Brian Kemp, David Perdue for Georgia governor, new poll shows

Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams — who has received widespread support among members of her party — is trailing behind two of the Peach State's top Republicans, according to results from a poll released Thursday.

The poll of hypothetical 2022 races was conducted by the University of Georgia's School of Public and International Affairs for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If the election were held today, incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and former Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., who is challenging Kemp in the GOP primary, would receive more support than Abrams.

According to respondents who took part in the survey, 48% said they would vote for Kemp, while 41% said they would vote for Abrams. Eight percent stated they were unsure who to support.
