Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock looks as if he's headed for a tough race to defend his Georgia seat against GOP contender Herschel Walker in November's midterm.
Walker, who has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won't be the Georgia Republican Party's official nominee until after May 24's primary. Recent polling shows that he's dominating the GOP field, however. A survey conducted by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in April had the former NFL player with nearly two-thirds of Republican voters' support, while all his opponents were in the single digits.
Warnock hopes to hold on to his hard-won seat, which he picked up in a relatively close runoff election in January 2021 against Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler. He declared victory in that contest with about 51 percent of the vote and a relatively narrow margin of fewer than 100,000 votes. Whether Democrats can maintain the seat in traditionally red Georgia will be seen as a test of the party's growing influence there.
Recent polls suggest that Walker is well positioned to take on Warnock and even potentially win the Senate seat back for the GOP. The current Real Clear Politics average of Georgia polls has the Republican contender ahead of the Democrat by 0.5 percentage points. Walker has an average of 47.3 percent, compared with Warnock's 46.8 percent.

The polls don’t matter unless they’re polling the opinions of the Dominion algorithms.
Georgia is still using its Dominion voting machines with their conections to internet and their onboard algorithms.
I have not followed this closely as I don’t live in Georgia. Greg Gutfeld did a remote interview with Hershel on his show last week. I thought he came of as an just another inarticulate former football player.
maybe that Kemp guy wants it to retain his office.
Wasn’t somebody named Kemp another inarticulate former football player?
Walker should beat Warnock easily based on name recognition alone. Georgian’s love Herschel.
I’ve noticed there has been no polling on Georgia’s 10th Congressional district. This is the seat that became vacant due to Congressman Jody Hice running for SOS to replace Ratburger (current GOPe SOS who let Stacy Abrams and the Democrats dictate election regulations in 2020).
Vernon Jones (former Georgia democrat) is running for that congressional seat and has been endorsed by Trump. But there are several others running as well.

Walker will have to ride the wave of voters unhappy with the
democrats over inflation and other things to win. I don’t know if the conditions are right in Georgia or not this year, but Republicans can sweep the board if they are, we shall see.
but remember, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is a democratic mouthpiece.
Wow, Bigly. Thanks for dredging that one up.
“I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory than by the Harvard University faculty,”

What I loved about that quote is that it comes from just about the most articulate conservative who ever lived. It isn’t about articulate as much as it is about right and wrong.
Hope so.
The preacher’s homespun act of being a regular Joe is getting old.
He’s nothing more than a Schumer stooge who votes against his state.
If its that close, the Dem will win by the fraud ... easily.
Those polls are a joke. Herschel is going to win in a romp.
I’ve always loved the name Herschel and love the dude to become a Senator even more. Don’t miss the New Jersey Generals though.
“Wasn’t somebody named Kemp another inarticulate former football player?”
The disgusting piece of crap Chris Christy is stumping for Kemp today. And several Freepers are voting for Kemp, who gave us Biden and the destruction of this country.
Buckley knew the odds were far greater of getting common sense pro America policies by just picking your average Americans from the phone. Now the founders thought that’s what they were setting up with 2yr terms for the House.
But YT is showing me Warner ads almost every time I try to watch AvE or agadmator’s chess channel.
Claiming that he does not take any “big corporation money” donations ... lies all over the place.
