Trump tops Harris by 7 points in battleground Georgia survey
Former President Trump has a 7-point edge over Vice President Harris in the battleground state of Georgia, according to a new survey.
The poll, released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, shows Trump ahead of Harris with 52 percent support to her 45 percent among likely voters in the Peach State. Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver each garnered 1 percent support.
The former president enjoyed the same lead among independents, besting the vice president by 7 points, 49 percent to 42 percent, according to the poll. Around 4 percent of the voting bloc were undecided, while Stein and Oliver earned 2 percent support each.
Both party nominees received strong support from their respective parties' bases, the numbers show.
In a hypothetical two-way match-up, Trump was ahead by 6 points, getting 52 percent support to Harris’s 46 percent, the survey found.
An earlier iteration of the survey, published Oct. 1, also showed Trump ahead of his Democratic rival by 6 points, 50 percent to 44 percent. In that poll, 3 percent of respondents chose another candidate.
"Georgia is on their minds and for now Trump is humming along and hoping to hold that old sweet song through Election Day," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said in a statement Wednesday.
The GOP nominee pulled ahead of Harris on the issues of economy, 55 percent to 43 percent; immigration, 57 percent to 41 percent; and preserving democracy, 51 percent to 46 percent. Harris, however, held the lead when it comes to abortion policy, garnering 50 percent support to Trump's 44 percent.
When it came to a question about honesty, roughly 44 percent of respondents said they found Trump to be honest compared to 51 percent who said otherwise. About 42 percent said Harris was honest, while 50 percent disagreed, according to the survey.
The poll was released a day after early voting began in the crucial swing state. Election officials announced Wednesday that more than 300,000 ballots were cast on the first day of early voting, shattering the state's previous record.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls shows Trump ahead in the state with 48.3 percent support compared to Harris's 47 percent.
The Quinnipiac poll was conducted Oct.10-14 among 1,328 likely voters in Georgia and has a margin of error of 2.7 percentage points.
