Newmax gives a report on the tight Georgia Republican primary for the U.S. Senate race. Former Secretary of State Handel would be a strong leader in the Senate on voter integrity issues.
Former Georgia secretary of state Karen Handel has pulled into second place in the tight GOP Senate primary race, and is in a virtual tie with leader David Perdue, a poll released Thursday showed. Handel, who attracted wide media attention when a leaked video showed Perdue criticizing her for not having a college degree, and then snagged an endorsement from Sarah Palin, elbowed past Rep. Jack Kingston, who poured big money into TV advertising, the survey by Insider Advantage for Fox News’ Atlanta affiliate showed.Perdue, a former CEO of Dollar General, topped the poll with 22 percent, Handel had 21 percent and Kingston slipped to third with 17 percent. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percent.
