Georgia Governor: Perdue Leads by Double Digits
Advertisement

Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue (R) holds a 20-point lead over two challengers who would like to replace him as Governor.

Perdue leads Secretary of State Cathy Cox (D), 54% to 34%. He leads Lt. Governor Mark Taylor (D) 53% to 33% margin.

The overall flavor of the race has changed little since our January election poll in Georgia. Perdue now enjoys a slightly larger lead over Cox than he did a month ago.

Perdue became Governor four years ago as one of the surprises in Election 2002. He is the first Republican Governor of Georgia in over 100 years.

Perdue is viewed favorably by 68% of his state's voters. Cox is viewed favorably by 55% and Taylor by 48%.

Georgia voters trust President Bush more than Congressional Democrats when it comes to the situation in Iraq. They are fairly evenly divided as to who they trust more on economic matters.
