ATLANTA — Gov. Nathan Deal is leading his Democratic challenger in a poll conducted for Morris News and WAGA-TV that was released Thursday, and it also shows that 57 percent of voters are aware of ethics allegations against the governor.

Two Republicans hope to defeat Deal in the primary, but the survey done Monday of 529 registered voters didn’t ask about them. It posed a matchup between Deal and Sen. Jason Carter in the general election.

The governor had the support of 44 percent while Carter had 22 percent. The remaining 34 percent were undecided with a 4.6 percent margin of error.
