Former US President Donald Trump is maintaining a lead over his successor Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among registered voters in Georgia, according to a survey conducted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that shows 45 percent of Peach State voters would back the Republican, compared to 37 percent who would support the Democratic incumbent, if the presidential elections conducted held today.
The poll comes as an alert for Biden, who turned Georgia blue in 2020 for the first time in nearly 30 years of Republican dominance. It is to note that Trump won his first 20 delegates in the race for the Republican nomination after receiving 51% of the vote in the Iowa Caucus.
As the White House race shifts to next week’s primary in New Hampshire, many respondents were still undecided about their support for either candidate, with 6.5 percent stating they would back another candidate, over 6 percent saying they would not vote, and roughly 6 percent saying they were unsure.
