Multiple polls show Ossoff leading in GA. Governor's race is closer

(USA Today) The midterm elections in Georgia may be some of the most closely-watched in the U.S. come November, and the key battleground has two close races at the top of the ticket.

On the national level, incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff is hoping to keep the MAGA base at bay and defeat Trump-endorsed Rep. Mike Collins for six more years in Congress. Ossoff ran unopposed in the Democratic primary while Collins had to compete not only in the initial Republican primary but an additional runoff race in June, ultimately coming out on top against former college football coach Derek Dooley.

The governor's mansion is also being vacated this year as two-term Republican Governor Brian Kemp is term limited and passing the torch to a new leader. Kemp gave a last-minute endorsement to his Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the days before a runoff race against healthcare CEO Rick Jackson, but Jackson prevailed in June and will be taking on former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
