New Quinnnipiac poll has Warnock up by 6% and Stacy Abrams down by just 2%.

[Ellipsis]

The Georgia governor’s race is too close to call as 50 percent of likely voters support Republican
incumbent Brian Kemp and 48 percent support Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, according to a Quinnipiac
(KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of likely voters in Georgia released today.

This is Quinnipiac University’s first poll of likely voters in Georgia’s 2022 election and cannot be
compared to results of earlier polls of registered voters.

Republicans (98 – 1 percent) back Kemp, while Democrats (97 – 2 percent) back Abrams. Independents
are split, with 50 percent backing Abrams and 48 percent backing Kemp.

Nearly all likely voters (94 percent) who support a candidate in the race for governor say their minds are
made up about how they will cast their vote, while 5 percent say they might change their minds before the
election.

1. Herschel Walker needs medical treatment, not a Senate seat.

The man is CLEARLY suffering the symptoms of Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

The symptoms of CTE include memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, impulse control problems, aggression, depression, anxiety, suicidality, parkinsonism, and, eventually, progressive dementia. These symptoms often begin years or even decades after the last brain trauma or end of active athletic involvement.

He has been involved with suicidal acts with guns, violence against women (many occassions), his speech is slowed and disoriented (he resembles Muhammed Ali's Parkinson's symptoms frequently, albeit in a earlier and less debilitating manner), he has told and admitted to wild stories of aggression and his lack of ability to control it.

Putting mentally ill and degenerative capacity candidates like Walker on the ballot is the absolute height of cynicism and amazing to me that he is not losing by 20-30 points.

5. But for a party that attacks us for "identity politics"

Putting an African-American and/or a celebrity up for a Senate seat is exactly what they think they need to do in order to win against another African-American.

2. Why Warnock isn't up by at least 26% is beyond me

Walker sounds like he has the mind of a 10 year-old.

3. That's not fair to 10 year-olds.

They're way more coherent than Walker.

4. he can play football well and that's a lot of peoples priority

Really messed up

6. Wonder how new registrations are going in GA?

New registrants may not show up on "likely voter" polls, because part of the criteria is past voting patterns.

Kemp was just caught saying he would consider outlawing contraceptives in Georgia. That is the kind of thing that could fuel lots of first time or intermittent voters.

Hope everyone is registered. "Culling" registration rolls is Kemp's biggest advantage.
