Only a quarter of Georgia voters feel very confident that the state will accurately count votes in the upcoming elections.

Only 25% of voters are very confident that the results will be counted fairly, while 42% are somewhat confident, 21% are not so confident, and 15% are not confident.
Republicans are more skeptical of the potential results than Democrats, and only 15% of Republicans think the count will be accurate.
45% of Republicans said they were not confident the results would be counted fairly, while 42% of Democrats said the same.
The poll shows a close race in the general election between the two candidates, with Brian Kemp and David Perdue tied at 48%.
The Senate contest is expected to be a nail-biter, with a poll showing the likely Republican nominee Herschel Walker leading the incumbent senator.
The poll shows Kemp holding a 7 point lead over Perdue, with Kemp holding a 70% favorability rating among Republicans despite Trump attacking him for not helping overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Only 44% of likely Georgia GOP primary voters said Trump's endorsement made them vote for a candidate, despite his track record of endorsing candidates that go on to win elections. Fifty percent said it makes no difference, and 5% said they would be less likely to vote for a candidate with Trump's endorsement.
Since the 2020 presidential election, Georgia has been a focal point in the debate over election security and voting rights. After the election, Trump fixated on Georgia and claimed there was fraud that kept him from winning the state. Trump repeatedly called on Kemp to overturn the election results, and begged Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find 11,000 votes after the election. An ongoing criminal investigation was spawned by the leak of the audio of the conversation between Trump and Raffensperger. A series of recounts affirmed President Joe Biden won the state by around 12,000 votes, making Trump the first GOP nominee to lose Georgia since 1992. Georgia was once again the center of the nation's political attention in January 2021, when Sen. Jon Ossoff won both of Georgia's U.S. Senate seats.
The governor's election was won by Kemp by about 55,000 votes. She accused the governor of voter suppression in the contest.
