In the Lieutenant Governor’s race, Republican incumbent Casey Cagle maintains his lead over Democrat Carol Porter 53-to-37 percent. Republican Attorney General candidate and former Cobb County Commission Chairman Sam Olens has a 13 point lead over Democratic challenger Ken Hodges. Libertarian candidate Don Smart has 7 percent overall, leading to the outside chance of a Olens-Hodges runoff, though since Olens has exactly 50 percent as of this poll, it is not likely.

GOP ex-principal John Barge’s 13-point lead over Democratic opponent Joe Martin still has him below 50 percent, leading to a higher likelihood that he may be facing a runoff in the state school superintendent’s race.

As was true in the last poll, about 8-of-10 partisan voters are sticking with their party’s candidate, but independent voters are leaning strongly toward Republican candidates, mirroring similar polling data from across the country. The Republican candidate is holding a significant lead in each contest among those voters who have cast early ballots.
