Georgia Polling: Jackson and Collins Can Win as Trump’s Approval Rises

For the first time this year in my extensive polling, the newest survey out of Georgia shows a material rebound for President Donald Trump and for other Republicans as we head into the heart of election season.

To be sure, serious hurdles remain, and the economic mood remains problematic. But after a drumbeat of steadily worsening polls for Trump and the GOP, this poll provides a glimmer of optimism and perhaps a roadmap, as well, for the way forward toward victory in the midterms.

Trump’s job approval improves to a deficit of -8% net, with 45% approval and 53% disapproval, in a Georgia poll by Wick. While still underwater, that ratio is actually quite good compared to recent presidential job approval ratings. More importantly, it signals a materially positive move for Trump compared to my own recent polling.

For context, my most recent polling of swing states showed Trump at -15% in Wisconsin in March, -16% in Arizona in April, and -22% in Michigan in May. For Georgia, neighboring North Carolina provides the best comparison state, which showed -14% approval for Trump in my last poll there.

In addition to Trump’s improvement, the key statewide races in Georgia are tight and very winnable for the superb Republican nominees. Right now, outsider businessman and GOP nominee Rick Jackson holds a slight lead over Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor, 43.2% to 42.7%.

Jackson ran a superb primary........
