Overview

  • A recent Cygnal poll finds Brad Raffensperger tied with Sen. Jon Ossoff at 44% support, making him the most competitive Republican challenger in Georgia's 2026 Senate race.
  • Other GOP candidates, including Mike Collins and Kelly Loeffler, trail Ossoff, with Collins falling 2.5 points behind and Loeffler outside the margin of error.
  • Republicans hold a narrow Senate majority, and Georgia is seen as a critical battleground for maintaining or expanding control in the 2026 midterms.
  • Gov. Brian Kemp’s decision not to run has left the GOP field without a candidate with definitive statewide recognition, intensifying the primary competition.
  • The Cook Political Report rates the race as a toss-up, with a generic ballot showing Republicans leading Democrats 48% to 44% among Georgia voters.
