Political Rewind: New Poll Shows Split Approval Ratings In Georgia And What It Could Mean For 2022
Wednesday on Political Rewind: Candidates continue to line up for the 2022 election in races that will determine just how purple Georgia has really become. Democratic state Rep. Bee Nguyen launched her effort to take on Brad Raffensperger in the battle for Secretary of State, while 6th District congresswoman Lucy McBath draws another GOP challenger. In the gubernatorial race, it is unclear if Gov. Brian Kemp will see a notable Republican challenger. \n\nPlus, the results of a new poll from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reveal approval numbers for top elected officials in Washington and Georgia. How do state voters feel about the job performance of Kemp as he begins his quest for a second term? And what about his likely opponent, Stacey Abrams? Is there any sign of bipartisan support for President Joe Biden following his first 100 days?\n\nPanelists:\n\nGreg Bluestein \u2014 Politics Reporter, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution\n\nFred Smith \u2014 Emory University, School of Law\n\nAmy Steigerwalt \u2014 Professor of Political Science, Georgia State University
