Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) narrowly trails Republican Herschel Walker in the Peach State’s marquee Senate race, according to a new The Hill/Emerson College poll.

Warnock, who won a special election in 2021 and is now running for a full term, is supported by 45 percent of registered voters in the poll released Wednesday, while Walker is backed by 49 percent of voters.

The Republican’s lead is just outside the survey’s margin of error of 3 percentage points, though 6 percent of voters remain undecided, according to the poll.

Walker, a former football star, is currently the heavy favorite to win the GOP primary after earning the endorsement of former President Trump, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) and other prominent Republicans.

The Georgia Senate race is anticipated to be among the most competitive in the country. The state narrowly went to President Biden in 2020, and Warnock and Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) won their seats by extremely tight margins in a pair of Senate runoffs in January 2021.

Trump’s claims that voter fraud cost him the state in 2020 are believed to have depressed GOP turnout in the primaries and are credited in part with helping the two Democrats win last year.

Democrats are hopeful that Warnock’s resume, including his service at Martin Luther King Jr.’s old church, could help him repeat his win this year. Some Republicans have also voiced concerns that Democrats will go after Walker over his past business practices and the fact that he has been accused of abuse by his ex-wife.

Still, Warnock will be running in what is anticipated to be a very GOP-friendly atmosphere, an environment driven largely by Biden’s sagging approval ratings. Biden’s approval rating in Georgia is underwater, according to the new poll, with 42 percent of voters approving of the job he’s doing and 49 percent disapproving.

The Hill/Emerson College poll surveyed 1,013 Georgia registered voters from April 1-3.


Gonna be tight.

Republicans lead Abrams in Georgia: poll​


Former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D) trails both her potential Republican opponents in her second bid to become governor, according to a new The Hill/Emerson College poll that found a highly polarized electorate divided across racial lines.

The survey found incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R) leading Abrams by a 51 percent to 44 percent margin. Former Sen. David Perdue (R), who is mounting a primary challenge against Kemp, leads Abrams by a 49 percent to 44 percent margin.

Kemp, then Georgia’s secretary of state, beat Abrams in 2018 by a margin of just 1.4 percentage points, or about 55,000 votes out of nearly 4 million cast.

The survey found Kemp a relatively weak incumbent. Only 42 percent of voters approve of the job he has done as governor, the same share that disapproves.

But Abrams’s party has suffered as President Biden’s approval rating sags, too. In Georgia, just 42 percent of voters approve of the job Biden is doing in Washington, while 49 percent disapprove.

“Every single public poll shows Governor Kemp is the only Republican who will beat Stacey Abrams this November. It is past time for David Perdue to realize he is the only thing standing in the way of Georgia Republicans achieving that goal,” said Cody Hall, Kemp’s campaign spokesperson.

The Perdue and Abrams campaigns did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Republican candidates lead on the strength of their performance among white voters, the poll found. More than three-quarters of white voters say they would support either Kemp or Perdue over Abrams.

The poll shows Abrams leading by substantial margins of about 40 points among Black voters, who make up about a third of Georgia’s electorate. But her advantage among those voters is likely to grow, as more than a third of Black voters say they remain undecided.

Abrams, who has spent the four years since her last contest running an organization that registers and turns out voters, posts big leads among the youngest cohort of voters, while both Kemp and Perdue lead among those who are over 50 years of age.

“Abrams’s chances in November depend in large part on whether or not these younger voters turn out,” said Spencer Kimball, who conducted the survey for Emerson College Polling.

The poll is the third survey this year to show Kemp leading Abrams. Surveys from Quinnipiac and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, both from January, showed Kemp scoring in the high 40s, but below the crucial 50 percent mark. The Quinnipiac survey showed Abrams tying Perdue, while the Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll showed Perdue leading by four points.

The Emerson College poll conducted for The Hill surveyed 1,013 registered voters between April 1-3, for an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

I'll take Walker over a wife runner-over race pimp anyday.

Walker beat his wife. He even admitted to it. There was no evidence of any actual injury nor intention to do harm to Warnock's wife even if it did happen.

Warnocks wife feels differently and remember...we're to believe all women ✌

And the police report and evidence contradict her claims.

I'm not someone who has ever said "believe all women" no matter what.

Georgia is a shithole. What can one expect?
 
i can see republicans electing a guy who massively lied about being in the Top 1% of his college class when he never even graduated.

I think this will be a GOP flip - and I think Abrams will lose her race in the state too.
 
Yup. I'd like to see Walker explain why he lied about his academic credentials.

And please, please bring up "CTR". haha
Lied about his academic credentials….……….Hmmmmmm, took a page out of China Xoe, the pedo playbook did he?

That is definitely true.

But it will be more of a red wave that sweeps in several new Republicans into office who are no good candidates (or even downright stupid or potentially criminal ones, like Walker) - rather than being elected because of a good convincing campaign.

Voters in wave elections don’t really care about candidate quality, they just vote against the incumbent president and his party and this results in maniacs being elected. See Marjorie Taylor-Greene or Lauren Böbert.
