Former President Donald Trump has taken the lead over President Joe Biden in Georgia, the latest AJC poll found.
The survey showed Trump, the runaway frontrunner in the Republican primary race, leading the incumbent in the Peach State by eight percentage points — 45 percent to Biden’s 37 percent support.
Another seven percent said they supported an “other candidate,” six percent said they “will not vote,” and six percent said they “don’t know.”
What is more is Trump’s dominance among independent voters in Georgia, leading Biden by double digits — 54 percent to 37 percent.
Further, the AJC poll found that black voters, “the party’s most loyal constituency, are split” over Biden’s job performance. Overall, 62 percent of registered voters disapproved of Biden’s job performance:
