New Poll Shows Trump Edging Out Harris In Tight Georgia Race
A CBS/YouGov poll released this week shows President Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris in Georgia by a slim margin. Trump holds 51% of the vote, while Harris trails with 49%. This is just one of several recent polls indicating that Trump has the edge in this critical battleground state.
The poll reveals a significant gender divide, with Trump leading men by 13 points and Harris leading women by seven. This gender gap may play a crucial role in determining the outcome in Georgia. Harris, who has struggled to win over male voters, could face an uphill battle if these numbers hold.
Economic issues dominate voter concerns, with 79% of respondents saying their income has not kept up with inflation. Additionally, 49% believe they would be financially better off with Trump in office, compared to just 35% who think they would fare better under Harris.
On social issues, the poll indicates that Georgia voters are split on the state’s six-week abortion ban, with 50% saying the law is too strict or just right. Harris has campaigned on national abortion rights, but this issue may not be the deciding factor in Georgia as voters prioritize the economy.
Trump’s strong position on the economy and voter dissatisfaction with inflation could help him secure a win in Georgia. Harris, on the other hand, will need to find a way to overcome Trump’s lead among male voters if she hopes to close the gap.
