Brian Kemp, Governor of Georgia

“Uses a skewed bar graph to show Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's polling advantage over Republican rival David Perdue in a hypothetical general election matchup with Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams.”

FactCheck.org rated this: Misleading

FactCheck.org says: An Emerson College/The Hill poll indicates Kemp would beat Abrams by 2 percentage points more than Perdue would. But side-by-side graphics in the tweet make the difference appear larger.
