Michelle Nunn stumbles in new Georgia Senate polling | WashingtonExaminer.com

Poll results released by SurveyUSA on Monday bode ill for Democratic Senate nominee Michelle Nunn in Georgia.

In head-to-head matchups against the two Republican candidates who qualify for a July 22 runoff election, Nunn comes out behind. According to the SurveyUSA poll, Nunn trails Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., by six points among likely voters; she trails businessman David Perdue by five points.

SurveyUSA found Kingston ahead of Perdue by 11 points, possible indication that high-profile endorsements of Kingston are having the expected effect.

The SurveyUSA poll indicates these advantages may not be enough to win the general election, especially once Republicans close ranks behind a nominee. Nunn could also be hurt by her anodyne performance on the campaign trail. She has done cartwheels to avoid thorny issues like Obamacare.

There is hope for Nunn, however. Previous polling has her ahead against both Republican candidates, and SurveyUSA conducts polls differently than other polling firms. Subsequent polling could prove the most recent results anomalous.
