Trump-Backed Burt Jones Faces Tight Race Against Rick Jackson in Georgia Gubernatorial Runoff
In the Georgia Republican gubernatorial runoff, businessman Rick Jackson is gaining ground against Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, who initially led the race with President Trump's endorsement. A recent Cygnal polling memo indicates a shift in voter support, with Jackson now leading Jones. Initially, Jones led the primary with 39% of the vote compared to Jackson's 33%, but the dynamics have changed significantly. By June 7, Jackson had secured 46% support, while Jones fell to 35%. This represents a notable swing in voter sentiment, as Jones had previously been the frontrunner. Other polls, such as a CivicLens Research survey, show varying results, with some indicating a lead for Jones. Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket still favor Jones for the GOP nomination, suggesting a competitive race ahead.
