:snip::

Warnock, a first-term Democrat and pastor of Atlanta’s Ebenezer Baptist Church, leads Walker by 50% to 38%, according to a poll of 1,076 likely voters taken from Sept. 30 though Oct. 4 by Survey USA for an Atlanta-based television outlet. Previous polls showed the race to be much closer or even statistically tied.

Almost all of the polling was completed before the evening of Oct. 3, when the Daily Beast reported that Walker had paid for a former girlfriend’s abortion 13 years ago. Walker, who supports a national ban on abortion, has called the Daily Beast report untrue.

A former football star and longtime Donald Trump acolyte, Walker has also in recent days been publicly criticized and called a liar on social media by his 23-year-old son, Christian.

Walker’s support is especially weak among women, according to the poll. Although male voters were evenly split on the two candidates, women favored Warnock by a margin of 29 points. The poll, conducted for WXIA TV’s “11 Alive” news, has a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.

1. Crazy is hard to predict, but I will be all but holding my breath through election day on this one.

[DemocraticPatriot]

2. Sensible women have more than enough reasons to oppose Walker.

I think they will make the big difference on this one, especially.

[hlthe2b]

3. That is my comfort...

Even without the specific abortion issue, this cretin has to remind every one of them (regardless of race) of the very worse they have encountered from men in their lives--whether "exes" or those who assert (or try to assert) authority over them.

[Stuart G]

4. When your son, a 23 year old, calls you a "liar" your finished..or as they say, "That's All Folks"

[DemocraticPatriot]

7. It would seem so, of course-- but this poll was completed just BEFORE

the abortion story broke, and all the rest...

[CatWoman]

31. i was about to bring that up

[Demovictory9]

10. Roghtwingers angry with son

[CatWoman]

32. was going to bring that up, too

saw several you tube videos about it

[Demovictory9]

35. Ok with Walker being a sh*t candidate..just dont anyone mention his huge flaws

[SoCalDavidS]

5. Unlike FL & TX, GA Is A Legit Purple State

I'm cautiously optimistic about Reverend Warnock's chances.

Less optimistic about Stacey's chances, which is a real shame, since she's brilliant, and one of our finest candidates. Since it's a Purple state, I'm thinking she'll finish closer than Beto & Charlie will in their Governor races.

[ananda]

26. That was my thought too.

...

[Brainstormy]

44. I thin Warnock will be fine. Now if

we could just rid ourselves of Marjore Taylor Greene.

[SoCalDavidS]

47. Bright Red District

Unfortunately, America is going to be stuck with MORONS like her and Gaetz for a LONG, LONG Time.

[catbyte]

6. I can just see the headlines now:

"Warnock Clings to a 12-Point Lead in Race With Walker, Tightening Expected."

I'm so sick of this crap, and they do it all the time. RepubliQans "surge" while Democrats "cling."

[Demovictory9]

9. Yeah..thats how it goes

[Meadowoak]

11. +1

[Captain Zero]

56. Really 38% & less than a month to go. It's laughable.

Herschel might as well grab his helmet and head to the locker room. He's getting snuffed in the fourth quarter.

[everyonematters]

8. This may be an outlier, but all of the recent polls have Warnock ahead.

[DemocraticPatriot]

13. Yes, it's an outlier at this time.... but

but the last few days have been pretty bad for Walker... lol


If there is to be a "pink wave" or women's surge against Republican candidates in this election,
the women of Georgia have a LOT more reasons to vote against Walker, than just abortion rights...

What excites me most about this poll result, is the margin of women against Walker... against him by 29 percent, whereas men are split more evenly. If that is near accurate, it will be impossible for Walker to win.

[Meadowoak]

12. Vote like we're 10 points behind, even if we're 10 points ahead.

GOTV

[Mysterian]

14. The good people of Georgia will save the world again

If I ever see Hershell Walker as a U.S. senator, I'm moving to Timbuktu.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

15. Are there 3rd party candidates in this race? Is it possibly going to a run-off?

I guess if this poll holds it won't but has Warnock been consistently over 50?

[DemocraticPatriot]

22. Warnock has not been consistently over 50, at all...

This is the only poll I can recall which showed him at over 50 percent... but there are undecideds of course.

I presume there are some small 3rd-party candidates on the ballot, as it has been noted that a run-off is possible.

[dsc]

23. A libertarian

[Marthe48]

16. Good news!

maybe decency will win the day

[TlalocW]

17. I was hoping for this

The party as well as the conservative nutbag churches will never give up one of their candidates no matter how many times one of their candidates betrays a GOP tenet, but the voters will. If they can't support a religious candidate like Warnock who is pro-choice, they also can't support one that's actually been involved with a woman getting an abortion. They'll probably still vote, but they'll sit out the Senate race.

[IcyPeas]

18. please please please please

I wish there was something more I could do. (not in his state).

[magicarpet]

19. On intelligence quotient alone Herschel should,..

... quietly bow out and head for the showers. With the towel of shame drapped over his head. How many flagrant lies is this guy entitled to dish out ?

[pwb]

20. Women will beat down the pukes everywhere.

Roevember !!!

[Fiendish Thingy]

24. Unless the trend continues with new polls, it's an outlier. Nt

[msfiddlestix]

43. That's what I was thinking..

this is the first time I've read where Warnock was ahead to any degree. From my reading this excerpt, it appears the poll is an Atlanta tv news source (?) based in Atlanta? If only the rest of the state was like Atlanta.

xing fingers it becomes a trend.

[Jarqui]

25. How could it be that close?

It should be a massive landslide ...

And yet Abrams who has been so good on so many issues is still 5 pts or so behind the guy who arguably cheated her out of office with massive voter purges in 2018

[tdrake]

27. Great news! WTG Warnock! this should be a no contest race.

[trof]

28. AWRIGHT!

[brer cat]

29. I hope he keeps a good lead. We need him in the Senate, and

the republicans will steal this if it is close.

[3catwoman3]

30. It should be 112 points.

[twodogsbarking]

33. At what point will Hershel say the election was rigged or has he already?

[LudwigPastorius]

34. Finish Him!

[honest.abe]

36. Very good news indeed.

[calimary]

37. If this is how it's going as of BEFORE the latest news broke,

just imagine what kind of bump Warnock is gonna get as that reality sinks in!

[Bayard]

41. Yes!

The only thing that could make it better would be if this woman made an ad for Warnock.

[Stuart G]

46. And it will "sink in".. Why? The election is a month away. Lot's of time for this to "SINK IN"

[Warpy]

38. Looks like the church ladies of both sexes have gotten the message

"Vote for a real minister instead of some Republican fraud who can't even get the slogans right."

Works for me, Warnock has been great.

[COL Mustard]

39. Excellent!

Excellent!!!

[Lasher]

40. The GOP chose...poorly.

Herschel is sending out tons of begging emails but not mentioning that the GOP has cut way back on supporting him.

[Mysterian]

45. There are already so many awful republican senators

But if I see Herschel fucking Walker as a senator I'll be thinking about getting out of this country.

[Stuart G]

48. Hershcel will lose and Oz will lose. Lots of time to discuss these liars. (Too much for them)

[BobTheSubgenius]

49. I can't believe it's that close.

What the hell is wrong with so many Georgia voters?

[peacebuzzard]

51. the red belt mentality

its everywhere in the state. bunch of crazy people in one place; kind of hard to deal with on a daily basis.
I spend lots of time in GA; tough town for the Dems...but hopefully the tide will turn again and again here.

[BobTheSubgenius]

54. Your lips to...someone or something's ear.

[FakeNoose]

50. Senator Raphael Warnock has been doing a great job, and he deserves to be re-elected

Georgia deserves BETTER than Herschel Walker, and even the Repukes can see it.

Well done Senator Warnock!

[peacebuzzard]

52. Yes! I am encouraged for this purple state again, go Senator Reverend!

[Maine Abu El Banat]

53. This is great news

[housecat]

55. Maybe some men should stay home and put more women in politics
