CBS46 obtained a Landmark Communications survey of nearly 700 people which shows Kemp at the top of the poll with 52% support, David Perdue at 28%, and Kandiss Taylor with 10%.

“Sen. Perdue’s job here is not necessarily winning a majority on election day, his job is to throw it to a runoff, and then it becomes a lot harder for an incumbent to win,” Landmark Communications President Mark Rountree said.

Whoever prevails on the Republican side will face off against Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams in November. Democrats like their chances.

“I think the Democrats would look forward to running against Kemp for one reason and that is the most loyal Trump voters are going to be disappointed after this primary if he wins,” Democratic pollster and strategist Chris Huttman said.
