This is the third major poll in the last two weeks to give the governor a 20+ point edge on Perdue. The RealClearPolitics average of polls conducted since January gives Kempt a 13.8-point lead.
In 11Alive’s polling, Perdue rates closer among self-identifying “very conservative” voters, though still not ahead of Kemp – with the governor leading among those voters 48-40%. Among “conservative” voters, Kemp leads 61-27% and 58-30% among “moderate” voters.
The results do show Trump’s influence on the race – among voters who identified “election integrity” as their top issue, Perdue wins 56-30%. However, only 5% of likely Republican primary voters polled by 11Alive named that their top issue. Nearly half – 44% – identified the economy as their top issue, and among those voters Kemp leads Perdue 59-28%. Kemp also wins big among the 11% of likely GOP primary voters who named crime their top issue – 68-19%.
