Raphael Warnock has a 4-point lead over Herschel Walker in the Georgia Senate runoff: poll

Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia has a four-point lead over Republican candidate Herschel Walker in the state's high-profile December 6 Senate runoff, according to a new poll conducted by SurveyUSA for 11Alive News.

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.

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.

...this country and its democracy are only treading water when basic sanity and decency merely eke out narrow victories instead of winning by a landslide.

of advertising, commercial and religious.

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.

Might be closer but I see Warnock as a clear favorite. It’s easy to underestimate how poorly the period between Nov 8 and now has gone for Walker.
