Former President Donald Trump holds a slight lead over Vice President Kamala Harris in the key swing state of Georgia, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the University of Georgia, found Trump at 47% support in the state, compared to Harris' 43%. A sizable 8% of respondents said they remain undecided, however.
The Georgia poll surveyed 1,000 of the state's likely voters from Oct. 7-16. The poll advertises a margin of error of 3.1%.
The poll further found that 60% of respondents say the country is on the wrong track, and their top issues were inflation/cost of living (19%), the economy/jobs (17%), preserving democracy (17%), immigration (14%) and abortion (8%).

The poll comes as Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is facing pressure to release the results of a voter roll audit he announced this summer.

"Millions of illegal immigrants have flooded our country since 2021, and it’s well-documented that thousands of them have successfully registered to vote in multiple states. But even with early voting now underway, Georgia voters are still waiting for confirmation that non-citizens are not casting ballots in our elections," former Sen. Kelly Loeffler, who now serves as the chairwoman for the group behind the effort, Greater Georgia, said in a release obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.
The comments come more than three months after Raffensperger announced the state was conducting a "SAVE audit" of noncitizens who may have registered to vote, which he called a "vital step in maintaining election security and integrity in Georgia."
"We are double-checking to make sure that if any non-citizens attempt to register to vote, they will not be able to vote unless they prove that they are U.S. citizens," Raffensberger said in a release at the time, which also warned of prison sentences of up to 10 years and fines of up to $100,000 for noncitizens who register to vote in the state.
Raffensperger told NewsNation just a few weeks later that the audit was complete, boasting that he could promise residents of the state that "only American citizens are voting."

Reached for comment by Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for the Georgia Secretary of State's office said that Raffensperger will hold a press conference on Wednesday to announce the results of the audit.
