A new poll from Opinion Savvy for Fox 5 shows gubernatorial candidates Brian Kemp and Stacey Abrams in a statistical tie just weeks ahead of the November midterms.
The poll shows Republican Secretary of State Kemp with 48.4%, giving him the slightest of edges over Democrat Abrams at 47.4%. Libertarian Tim Metz, who may have an oversized impact on the results, is at 1.3%.
Opinion Savvy analysts say that unless there is a late shift in the numbers, we could see a runoff as neither candidate is currently above 50% of the vote. With Abrams leading the early voting numbers, (which has been massive) Kemp needs to outperform his numbers among independent voters in order to win outright.
Opinion Savvy’s poll included 824 likely voters and was conducted on Oct. 21 and 22. It has a statistical margin of error of 3.4 percent.
