Recent polling averages place Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff ahead of Republican Mike Collins by roughly 8 points among likely voters, with Ossoff at 51-52% and Collins at 42-44%, though 4-12% remain undecided in late surveys. Strong Democratic performance among women, Black voters, younger Georgians, and independents offsets Republican advantages among older and White voters, while Ossoff’s substantial fundraising edge and early-voting momentum have reduced outside spending. Georgia’s requirement for a majority to avoid a December runoff keeps attention on whether Ossoff clears 50% outright. The margin market reflects this positioning, with trader consensus balancing probabilities around an 8-point range amid ongoing early voting and limited late-campaign shifts.
