A new poll found Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) leading his Republican challenger, Rep. Mike Collins, in Georgia's Senate race, The Hill's report on the poll said. According to The Hill, 48 percent of respondents supported Ossoff's reelection bid. The Hill credited the survey to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the University of Georgia.
The Hill also reported that Republican Rick Jackson narrowly leads Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms in the Peach State's gubernatorial race. Its headline described the two candidates as "nearly tied." The summary of the report available for this story ends before giving the full figures for either race.
CBS News, in a video report, said Ossoff "has a sizable lead" over Collins according to new polling from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The CBS summary said Atlanta Journal-Constitution Washington Bureau Chief Tia Mitchell shares takeaways from the polling data in the segment. The CBS summary did not include specific numerical results. The CBS News video is the second report cited here.
The two reports differ on who conducted the poll. The Hill named The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the University of Georgia, while CBS News named only The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Neither summary states the sample size or margin of error. The Hill's summary also cites a figure of 40 percent but breaks off before saying which candidate that figure describes, so the full margin in the Senate race is not established by the available reports.
