Democrat Stacey Abrams is leading Republican opponent Brian Kemp in Georgia's hotly contested gubernatorial race, according to an internal poll commissioned by her campaign.

The poll, conducted by the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group, shows Abrams leading the Georgia secretary of state by 48 percent to 42 percent. Seven percent of respondents said they were undecided.

The survey comes weeks after one from Atlanta Journal-Constitution–Channel 2 Action News that showed Abrams and Kemp virtually deadlocked at 45 percent each.

Abrams, a former minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives, campaigned as an unabashed progressive during her primary earlier this year against Stacey Evans, a more middle-of-the-road Democrat.

1. KKKemp, Abrams opponent, has not unleashed the racist/bigoted ads he used to win the GOPer primary.

But, he will at some point if the polls stay close.

But, the current polls -- and Abrams hard work to get out the vote -- are very encouraging. For Georgia's inveterate white wingers, an Abrams' victory would send them spinning. She is a really engaging candidate that I think a lot of traditional Georgia voters will like if they listen to her. There are two debates scheduled that could make a big difference in the outcome.
