Raffensperger tops Republican contenders for Georgia Senate race after Kemp bows out: Poll

  • A May 2025 poll by Cygnal showed a close contest between the current Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, and Senator Jon Ossoff in a potential 2026 Senate election.
  • This matchup follows Governor Brian Kemp's decision on May 5 to not run for the Senate, leaving Republicans seeking a leading candidate to challenge Ossoff.
  • Other Republican contenders like Rep. Buddy Carter, Insurance Commissioner John King, and Rep. Mike Collins trail Ossoff by single-digit margins in the same poll.
  • Between May 15 and 17, a Cygnal poll of 800 likely general election participants found Raffensperger at 44.3% support and Ossoff at 44.1%, with a margin of error of ±3.41%.
  • Raffensperger has not confirmed a Senate run but has hinted he could run, while the race remains a competitive 'toss-up' with Republican support at 48.2%.
