.SenatorWarnock expands lead over HerschelWalker in Georgia bid for Senate, but race remains tight: Poll
Forty-six percent of Georgia voters say they’re likely to vote for Warnock compared to just 43% who said the same for Walker, according to a new poll from the University of Georgia and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Although the numbers show a slight advantage for the Democratic incumbent, Warnock’s lead is still within the poll’s margin of error, meaning the race could be forced into a runoff in November.
The most recent numbers showed Warnock increasing his lead over Walker. A similar poll from the university in mid-September showed Walker leading the Democratic incumbent 46%-44%. If the updated polling indicates a trend of support toward Warnock, it could spell trouble for Republicans because the Georgia race could determine which party gains control of the Senate in November.
Support for Warnock grew in certain demographics compared to previous polling, with the Democratic incumbent increasing his support among women by 8.6 percentage points, 11.8 among black voters, and 6.9 among independents, according to the poll. However, white voters and those without a college degree maintained a significant preference for Walker.Walker has come under intense scrutiny since the reports surfaced because the Republican has campaigned as a staunch anti-abortion candidate.
