“This survey was conducted after the most recent gubernatorial debate, which Rick Jackson was absent from. It shows that his absence from the debate had no impact on his numbers.
“We continue to see in our polling across the country, a tremendous surge in senior voters, which we have not seen in many cycles. And they have moved heavily towards the Republican candidates. Early voting/early mail-in numbers show this to also be the case. However, in Georgia, the African American vote was strong in the first day of early voting, which pretty much tracks with our belief that this will be a close race, but one that Jackson is leading.”
