Despite being a clear shot for controversy, Georgia Republican candidate for U.S. Senate Herschel Walker has a slight lead over incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock in a recent poll. Walker leads Warnock by two points, 44 percent to 46 percent, in the latest Emerson College Polling survey released on Aug. 30. With just two months to the election, the poll could help the candidates laser focus their efforts.

“Walker leads Warnock among rural voters 58 percent to 24 percent, while Warnock leads Walker 66 percent to 25 percent among urban voters. In the suburbs, voters are breaking for Walker by a nine-point margin, 50 percent to 41 percent,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said.
The Emerson poll is the only recent survey of voters that reflects Walker with a lead against the Democratic senator. Other polls show Warnock with a 3 percent to 4 percent advantage over his opponent. Another Emerson College poll in April showed Walker leading by 4 percentage points. The pair were tied in the same poll in June.
Still, 53 percent of the 600 Georgia voters surveyed said they believe Warnock, a pastor at Dr. Martin King Jr.’s church in Atlanta, will win the Nov. 8 election, over the 47 percent who think Warnock could flip the seat back to Republican.
