Despite criticism about “candidate quality” from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), it appears that Georgia GOP Senate nominee Herschel Walker has taken the lead over U.S. Senator Raphel Warnock (R-GA).
Former President Donald Trump touted three new polls which all indicate the advantage for Walker, who is a former NFL star.
“Herschel is looking good – a shining star for Georgia,” Trump declared in a Truth Social post.
The most recent poll from Fox 5 Insider Advantage has Walker receiving 47% of the support, while Warnock is at 44%.
Libertarian Chase Oliver polled at 4% with 5% still undecided, which leaves open the possibility that the race will end up heading to a runoff, which also happened in 2020.
Both prior polls also showed both candidates with less than 50% of the electorate supporting Walker, although he had an advantage in both.
In the Emerson College poll, however, Walker did receive 50% of support from those who view him as at least somewhat favorable.
That came as 46% of respondents had an at least somewhat unfavorable view of him, while Warnock had 47% with at least somewhat favorable versus 46% with at least somewhat unfavorable.
