Incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock leads GOP nominee Herschel Walker by 10 points in a recent public opinion poll, while Gov. Brian Kemp and challenger Stacy Abrams are deadlocked in a recent 48-48% tie.
The survey, conducted June 23-27 by Quinnipiac University, questioned 1,497 registered Georgia voters with an overall sampling error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points, according to a recent report by FOX 5 Atlanta.
"Herschel Walker fumbles on honesty and tumbles on favorability as Raphael Warnock surges ahead in the race for senator," Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy told FOX 5 Atlanta.
According to results, Warnock leads Walker 54%-44% among Peach State registered voters, up some 10 points in the same survey that was taken from just the last poll in January.
This comes as results indicate Warnock’s overall 10-point lead is fueled by a 62%-33% advantage over Walker among independent voters, and a double-digit lead among females compared to Walker’s single-digit margin among males, the report states.
Since the January poll, FOX 5 reports Walker has been dogged by reports that he overinflated the success of his businesses and has been playing defense against allegations of past abuse to children he fathered out of wedlock.
Among additional results, the survey also suggests the 2022 gubernatorial rematch between GOP Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams is a “dead heat,” the report states.
