A new survey from The Polling Company finds Rep. Phil Gingrey (R) leading the Republican race for U.S. Senate in Georgia with 19%, followed by Karen Handel (R) at 14%, Rep. Paul Broun (R) at 13%, Rep. Jack Kingston (R) at 11% and David Perdue (R) at 8%.
“The close poll shows a wide-open field — and potential for concern for establishment Republicans. Both Broun and Gingrey have a history of gaffes and are considered seriously flawed general election candidates.”
