Ossoff Leads Collins 56%-43% in Georgia Senate Poll as Trump Drag Weighs on GOP

Summary
A Fox News poll of 1,002 Georgia registered voters puts Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff ahead of Republican Rep. Mike Collins 56% to 43%, with an 11-point edge even among the 82% who say they are motivated to vote.
Ossoff’s advantage is powered by stronger crossover and personal support: 96% of Democrats back him, nearly a quarter of non-MAGA Republicans say they would vote for him, and 58% view him favorably versus 44% for Collins.
Collins is strongest with white evangelical Christians, non-college white men and rural voters, but 53% of Georgians say they are concerned he is too close to Trump, compared with 47% who say Ossoff is too liberal.
Inflation is the top Senate issue for 40% of voters, yet Ossoff still leads by 21 points among those voters; he also holds larger margins on healthcare and political divisions, while Collins leads only among immigration-focused voters.
The survey suggests a different landscape from Ossoff’s narrow 2021 runoff win, with Collins underperforming past GOP benchmarks even after Trump’s endorsement in the June primary runoff.
