President Donald Trump continues to maintain a lead over Kamala Harris in Georgia, according to a CBS/YouGov poll. The poll of 1,441 registered voters shows Trump leading Harris 51% to 49%, marking the latest in a series of polls that consistently place Trump ahead in the Peach State.
Trump’s advantage appears particularly strong among male voters, where he holds a 13-point lead. Meanwhile, Harris leads among women by seven points. These gender dynamics may prove crucial in the outcome of the state, which is often a battleground in national elections.
Economic dissatisfaction is a major factor in Trump’s lead. Seventy-nine percent of voters report that their income has not kept up with inflation, and only 22% say they are better off than they were four years ago. Trump’s economic policies are favored by a 14-point margin over Harris’ proposals.
In addition to economic issues, Georgia voters weighed in on gun control and abortion. While 59% support legal abortion in most cases, the state remains split over its six-week abortion ban. Harris’ campaign is expected to continue focusing on this issue, but the poll suggests it may not be as decisive as once thought.
As Trump leads on major issues, Harris’ campaign faces significant challenges in Georgia. With economic concerns at the forefront, Trump’s message appears to be resonating with voters who are unhappy with their current financial situation.
