Warnock Opens 12-Point Lead on Walker in Georgia Senate Race

https://www.yahoo.com/news/warnock-opens-12-point-lead-181924087.html

Warnock, a first-term Democrat and pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, leads Walker by 50% to 38%, according to a poll of 1,076 likely voters taken from Sept. 30 though Oct. 4 by Survey USA for an Atlanta-based television outlet. Previous polls showed the race to be much closer or even statistically tied.

Almost all of the polling was completed before the evening of Oct. 3, when the Daily Beast reported that Walker had paid for a former girlfriend’s abortion 13 years ago. Walker, who supports a national ban on abortion, has called the Daily Beast report untrue.

This race is a statewide race. The Governor's race is a statewide race. Why would any Warnock voter not also be a Stacy Abrams voter as well? Why isn't that race also polling with Abrams well ahead of Kemp?

because of the abortion issue and also the gun issue.

KKKEMP & the GA GOP have enacted a “guns everywhere” law which has resulted in an increase in gun crime, because, duh, guns are everywhere. Also, KKKEMP got the 6 week abortion law passed.

Women are incredibly angry. Women want bodily autonomy and to be safe from gun violence.

GOTV for Warnock, Abrams, & every other Democrat on the ballot in November 2022.

Ignore the polls. Work to GOTV until the polls close on Election Day. Vote Democratic.

Or, ludicrously, might actually help Walker.🙄

But this poll even though the majority of respondents were polled before the crippling abortion story broke seems to indicate Walker had big problems even before that story.

I always thought it would hurt him and I think his kid's words hurt him too...moving six times so your father would not kill you? Walker is a violent sociopath.
