Former President Donald Trump continues to lead Vice President Kamala Harris in Georgia, according to a new poll.
A survey of 1,328 likely Georgia voters Quinnipiac University conducted Oct. 10-14 found Trump with 52% of the vote to 45% for Harris, well above the poll’s margin of error of plus-or-minus 2.7%. Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver each received 1% support.
The new poll was only slightly different from the results of the last Quinnipiac poll in Georgia conducted two weeks ago, which had Trump ahead of Harris by 6 points.
Not surprisingly, Republican Trump and Democrat Harris held huge leads among voters who self-identified with their respective parties. More telling is that Trump led over Harris among independents in Georgia 49% to 42%.
