The survey showed Warnock with 50% support among likely voters in the Peach State, while Walker received 46% support; four percent of respondents were undecided.
In the poll, Warnock enjoyed near-unanimous support (95%) among Democrats, while Walker earned the backing of 87% of Republicans; 11% of GOP respondents crossed party lines to support Warnock over Walker in the survey.
Independents, a critical slice of the Georgia electorate, backed Warnock by 13-percentage points (51%-38%) over Walker.

(17,691 posts)In a sane Georgia, that would be a 40 point lead.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate a lead of any number, but the insanity of a single digit lead of the Walker candidacy leaves me horrified. The knowledge that my neighbors in Georgia hate Democrats so much that they are willing to send a clown to represent them in the US Senate creates a dread that goes way beyond this campaign.

That any voter, any side, would tolerate hours long waits in line to Vote??
is a national sickness.
Long voter lines and delays until the vote is cast, are the symptom of the cancer, not a reason for hope.
