Raphael Warnock has a 9-point lead over Herschel Walker for Georgia Senate; Kemp, Abrams are close [View all]
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia has a nine-point lead over Republican challenger Herschel Walker in the state's high-profile Senate contest, according to a new poll conducted by SurveyUSA for 11Alive News.
The survey showed Warnock with 48% support among likely voters in the Peach State, while Walker received 39% support; eight percent of respondents were undecided.
10% of Republican respondents crossed over to support Warnock over Walker in the survey.
Critically, Warnock has strong leads in both urban and suburban areas - whose firm support of Democratic candidates in recent cycles have turned Georgia from a Republican stronghold to a swing state highly coveted by both political parties.
He also led Walker with independents (44%-35%), a group that has backed fewer Republicans in statewide races in recent cycles.
In the gubernatorial contest, incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp led Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams by a razor-thin 45%-44% margin
