From Fox News:
An InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 Atlanta poll released Thursday suggests Walker has taken the lead in the Georgia race, one of the most closely watched Senate races in the nation, with the football legend receiving 47% support from voters in the Peach State over Warnock’s 44% support.
The latest poll shows a two-point increase for Walker and a four-point decrease in Warnock’s support since a July poll — a major shift in the race just two months before the midterm elections.
Walker explained to Fox News’ “Hannity” why he thinks the polls shifted into his favor.
“The reason is, I’m getting out and meeting the people, and I’m talking to the people and the people are speaking. You know, they’ve spent over $50 million against me, but the race is still tied,” Walker told host Sean Hannity.
“People want a change in Washington. Senator Warnock is a cut from the cloth of Joe Biden. And what I mean by that is he believes in higher taxes, he believes in open borders, he voted to put men in women sports. And that’s not what the Georgian people want,” Walker said.
“The Georgian people want someone they can trust, and they can trust in Herschel Walker.”
The Blaze noted:
InsiderAdvantage chairman Matt Towery said alongside the poll results that “Warnock is winning among younger voters and seniors but trails badly among those 40-64. Men support Walker at 60%, while women support Warnock at 55%. Walker is receiving 12% support from African American respondents. With only 4% undecided, this race could very well be headed to a General Election runoff given the fact that there seems to be few points among the various demographics up for grabs,” the cable network reported.
Warnock agreed to debate Walker in October, Fox News added.
