 Georgia voters split on issue priorities by partisanship — except on the economy
==========

Georgia voters prioritize the economy as the most important issue, according to a poll. 35% of registered Georgia voters, including 28% of Democrats, 41% of Republicans, and 34% of independents, selected the economy as the top issue. Republicans also prioritize immigration, while Democrats focus on healthcare and abortion access. In the Georgia Supreme Court race, incumbent Justice Andrew Pinson is leading former Democratic Rep. John Barrow. Pinson is performing well in Atlanta suburbs, including counties that voted for Biden in 2020. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Judge Scott McAfee, involved in Trump's Georgia trial, are projected to win their Democratic primaries. Monica McBath is holding a strong lead in her new district due to redistricting. Overall, Georgia voters' issue priorities align with their partisan affiliations, except for the economy.
