New polling by the AJC shows Jon Ossoff and Brian Kemp in a head-to-head race for Ossoff’s Senate seat in a hypothetical matchup in next year’s midterm election. The numbers found Kemp at 49 percent and Ossoff at 46 percent, with a 3.1 percent margin of error.
Kemp has yet to make his intent for the seat known. His approval rating as governor sits at 60%, and he is the only Republican in the survey who polls close to Ossoff. The Democrat holds commanding leads over three other prominent figures from across the GOP spectrum, including firebrand U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
