Poll suggests Democrats will lose another Senate seat
...
A brand new poll indicates that Republican Governor Brian Kemp holds a solid lead over incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff. Conducted by the GOP-aligned Tyson Group and first shared with reporters at The Daily Caller, the survey reveals a promising prospect for Republicans in the upcoming contest.
According to the poll, in a head-to-head matchup, Kemp leads Ossoff by a margin of 49% to 42%, with 8% of likely voters still undecided. The two-term governor enjoys a significant 14-point net favorability advantage over Ossoff, which further strengthens the GOP’s optimism about his potential candidacy. The survey, which sampled 600 likely Georgia general election voters, was conducted between January 30 and January 31, 2025.
Georgia’s 2026 Senate race is shaping up to be one of the most critical contests for Senate Republicans as they aim to expand their 53-47 seat majority during the next midterm elections. Kemp, who is seen as a formidable candidate by many within the GOP, is considered a prime contender to challenge Ossoff’s re-election bid. His popularity, bolstered by his successful governance, makes him a strong choice to potentially flip the seat from blue to red.
The poll also explored other hypothetical matchups between Ossoff and several high-profile Georgia Republicans, including Representatives Buddy Carter and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Both candidates are shown to be within striking distance of Ossoff, though not surpassing him as Kemp does. Ossoff leads Carter 47% to 39%, with 13% undecided, and Greene 51% to 39%, with 9% undecided.

While Georgia remains a competitive state for some candidates, it looks like Kemp would be a winner if he runs. I find it surprising that Ossoff won the first the previous election. Georgia used to be a conservative state but Ossoff was able to pull off a win in his previous run.
