The first major swing state poll following former President Trump's guilty verdict in his New York City trial last week revealed a solid lead for one candidate just five months ahead of the November general election.
Georgia voters favor Trump over Biden 49% to 44% in a head-to-head matchup, according to the Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, which was taken following the former president's highly publicized and intensely scrutinized conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
Trump's lead over Biden grew to a six-point spread (43%-37%) with the inclusion of independent presidential candidates Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (8%) and Cornel West (3%), as well as the Libertarian Party's Chase Oliver (3%) and the Green Party's Jill Stein (2%).
Will this hold?
