Poll shows Cagle ahead in 
Lt. Governor's race

Gainesville, GA (Jan. 6) – A new independent Zogby International poll released today shows that Casey Cagle is the only candidate for the Republican Lt. Governor's nomination currently positioned to win against a Democrat this fall.

   According to the results, Cagle currently holds a five point lead over the Democratic nominee, while Reed lags behind the Democrat by three points. These results track past independent polls, such as a recent InsiderAdvantage poll which found Reed's favorable rating among general election voters was actually lower than his unfavorable rating.

   The poll, conducted for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, also found Cagle maintains better approval ratings among Republicans, with an unfavorable rating of only 4%. By contrast, Reed's unfavorables among Republicans are more than double, at 10%.

   "Every independent poll taken in this race has found Casey Cagle is the only Republican candidate who can beat the Democrats in the fall. 
This is one of the biggest reasons more and more Republican leaders are joining our team every day," said Cagle spokesman Brad Alexander.

   "Georgians place a high importance on electing leaders who are trustworthy and honest, and that focus is clearly reflected in these numbers," Alexander continued.

   Raised by a single mom, Casey Cagle seized the American Dream to become a successful, self-made business leader and one of the most experienced Republican leaders in the State Senate. A devout believer, a devoted husband, and a proud father, Casey Cagle has been the champion for Georgia's families at our State Capitol for over a decade. As our next Lt. Governor, Casey Cagle will continue to passionately advocate our values and lead with a vision of opportunity for all of Georgia.
