Kemp leading Abrams in latest Georgia governor polling

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) holds the lead in his reelection bid over Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, new polling shows.

An InsiderAdvantage-Fox 5 poll released Thursday put Kemp 5 points ahead of Abrams among likely voters, 50 percent to 45 percent, with 3 percent undecided.

A SurveyUSA poll released Wednesday found a narrower 2-point lead for the incumbent, with 47 percent of likely voters surveyed supporting Kemp and 45 percent supporting Abrams, while 5 percent were still undecided. That poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

The results affirm a tight race between the two candidates as they vie for Georgia’s gubernatorial seat.

Georgia's Warnock outraises Walker as giving to Kemp jumps

ATLANTA (AP) — Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock is maintaining his cash lead in Georgia over Republican challenger Herschel Walker, while incumbent GOP Gov. Brian Kemp's fundraising sharply accelerated over the summer in his race with Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams.

Walker said Wednesday that his campaign raised more than $12 million in the three months ending Sept. 30, giving him almost $33 million since he began his campaign. Walker's campaign said that's the most of any Republican candidate this cycle.

Walker spent almost $11 million during the third quarter, leaving him with about $7 million on hand.

Despite Walker's strongest fundraising quarter to date, he lags far behind Warnock, who has become one of the Senate's most prolific fundraisers. Republican strategists in Washington, however, said planned spending by party committees and GOP-aligned PACs will keep Republicans' overall Senate advertising in Georgia on par with Warnock and the Democrats ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8.

Should be fantastic. Hopefully she wants the governorship and after 8 years be appointed as DNC chair.

whenever possible.
She’s just got to hope that some of those moderate Republicans and Independents that are turned off by Walker and will vote for Warnock will also vote for her.

7. Are there local tv ads in Georgia for Abrams and Warnock ?

Are there any ads about how bad Walker is? I mean, the guy's a joke.

Kemp signed a 6 week abortion ban, but he's silent on Walker?

The ads write themselves. See the bolded quote below. He's not going to get into people's personal lives????? Unless your a woman.

Gov. Brian Kemp Tiptoes Past Uproar Over Herschel Walker Abortion Report:
...
But Mr. Kemp, an abortion opponent who signed into law Georgia’s six-week ban on the procedure, has offered no specific support nor condemnation. His spokesman put out a broad statement in response on Tuesday, saying the governor’s main objective at this stage was working to secure a second term.
...
On Wednesday, Mr. Kemp did not answer a question about whether he would campaign alongside Mr. Walker. The two have not yet held joint events.

“I’m not going to get into people’s personal lives,” he said.
