Overview
- Recent polls show Ossoff ahead by roughly nine points in the race, with a Rasmussen survey reporting 51% for Ossoff and 42% for Collins among likely Georgia voters.
- Federal Election Commission filings list about $77.3 million in total receipts for Ossoff’s campaign from January 2025 through June 2026, including roughly $67.7 million in individual contributions.
- Collins faces an ongoing Office of Congressional Conduct inquiry and accusations that he misused government funds to pay a staffer who did no work, a factor cited by critics and strategists as weakening his general-election standing.
- Demographic polling shows strong support for Ossoff from Black voters and a 15-point lead among women while Collins holds larger margins with voters over 65 and a majority of white voters.
- Georgia’s voter calendar remains decisive: the registration deadline is October 5, early voting runs October 13–30, and the general election is November 3, with turnout patterns likely to determine whether current leads hold and how the result shapes control of Congress.
