Today, Daily Kos announced findings from statewide surveys of likely voters in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Mississippi, conducted Oct. 23-26, 2020.
In Pennsylvania, Joe Biden leads Donald Trump 52%-45% in the race for president. Democrat Nina Amad is ahead of Republican Timothy DeFoor 48%-41% in the race for auditor general. In the race for attorney general, Democrat Josh Shapiro leads Republican Heather Heidelbaugh 52%-41%.
In Georgia, Biden leads Trump 51%-46%. In the election for U.S. Senate, Democrat Jon Ossoff bests incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue 51%-45%. In Georgia’s Senate special election contest, Democrat Raphael Warnock leads with 48% of the vote. GOP Rep. Doug Collins is in second with 23%, and GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler is third with 22%. If a special election runoff is needed, in hypothetical head-to-head matchups, Warnock leads Collins 51%-42% and is ahead of Loeffler 51%-37%.
In Mississippi, Trump leads Biden 55%-41%, and GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith leads Democrat Mike Espy 52%-44%.
The surveys also provide new data on key state ballot questions in Mississippi.
- Mississippians support Measure 2, which would remove the requirement that a candidate for governor or state office receive the highest number of votes in a majority of the state’s 122 House districts, 54%-25%.
- Mississippians support Measure 3, which would adopt a new official state flag design, 61%-31%.
“These new Daily Kos/Civiqs polls are full of exciting news for Democrats,” said Carolyn Fiddler, communications director for Daily Kos. “Joe Biden is poised to flip Georgia and Pennsylvania to the Democratic presidential column, and Democrats could pick up two crucial U.S. Senate seats in Georgia. This data fortifies Georgia’s status as a top-tier presidential and U.S. Senate battleground and provides more evidence of Democrats’ continued strength in Pennsylvania.”
The Pennsylvania poll surveyed 1,145 likely voters, the Georgia poll surveyed 1,041 likely voters, and the Mississippi poll surveyed 507 likely voters.
