Dave Wasserman is sure optimistic for Raphael Warnock

He's saying on Twitter that the only places where Walker is doing well are very rural red counties and underperforming in small/mid-size counties. Warnock is doing much better than he did in November 2022.

All I am reading on his tweets are basically very positive for Warnock.

I'm not linking to Twitter for any number of reasons.

They're always getting caught. Don't trust them at all.

Who knows how many. They try to rig everything to their benefit. Throwing votes out, moving polling places in poorer areas, you name it. Hope I'm wrong, but highly doubt it.

There is definitely good signs for Walker as he did what he needed in super red rural counties (which means less total votes). But when it comes to bigger suburb-ish lean republican counties, Walker actually didn't do as well. Instead, Warnock actually improved a point or 2 in some of those counties.

Basically, unless there is a huge drop off in the big blue counties with turnout, Warnock should win.

...and haven't heard/seen one reason to be worried. I was hoping that they would call it for Warnock early on, so that's somewhat of a disappointment that they did not, but that was probably wishful thinking on my part given that this is a very much purple (and traditionally very conservative) state. But I have absolutely no worries about this race thus far.

Walker doing better in the north, Warnock doing better in the south. I wonder why.
