Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine is the apparent leader in the race for the Republican nomination for governor in a just-released poll.
The latest poll shows Oxendine with 31 percent of the vote to 23 percent for former Secretary of State Karen Handel.
Former congressman Nathan Deal gets 18 percent, and former state Sen. Eric Johnson is fourth with 6 percent. Another 19 percent are undecided.
The poll was conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. of Washington, D.C. from July 8 through July 13, and paid for by 13 daily newspapers with readership across Georgia. About 400 likely voters in the Republican primary were asked their choices. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points, meaning there is a 95 percent chance the actual number would fall in that range.
