A new InsiderAdvantage poll finds former Republican Rep. Nathan Deal four points ahead of former Dem Gov. Roy Barnes in the Georgia gubernatorial race.
The latest numbers, which are InsiderAdvantage’s first results for the Deal-Barnes matchup, show Deal on top 45%-41%. Libertarian candidate John Monds polls at 5% in the survey. Last week, a Rasmussen poll released right after Deal’s narrow victory in the Republican primary runoff showed a larger nine-point advantage for the Republican nominee. That poll did not include a specific third-party candidate.
The TPM Poll Average of the Deal-Barnes matchup has Deal leading 50.6%-42.6%. The margin of error for the InsiderAdvantage poll is ±4.0 percentage points.
