Raphael Warnock wins reelection, due in part to her status as a liberal superstar.<\/p>\n<p>Warnock led his likely general election opponent, Republican Herschel Walker, by 5 points, while Abrams trailed incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp by 5 points, according to a SurveyUSA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surveyusa.com\/client\/PollReport.aspx?g=bca047b9-0028-4722-99cf-e8b225416609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poll<\/a> released Thursday. The discrepancy, according to Lakshya Jain, an election analyst who writes for Split Ticket, is due to the perception that Abrams is more liberal than Warnock.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbrams under-runs Warnock in basically every single one of these suburbs and we see it in every single poll,\u201d Jain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cIt has to do with the fact that he\u2019s viewed as less extreme by the electorate less liberal \u2026 and the fact that \u2026 he\u2019s not running against an incumbent, he is that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said that the election was done unfairly in Georgia, which did not really endear her to a lot of Georgia suburbanites,\u201d he added. \u201cThis was not a good move if you wanted to run again in Georgia, especially in a cycle like 2022, where a Democratic president is in the White House.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jain sees the \u201cmedian case\u201d in Georgia as a split ticket, where Warnock wins, but Abrams does not. The main reason, he said, is that Abrams became a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/03\/17\/stacey-abrams-star-trek-discovery-camero\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">national figure<\/a> in the aftermath of her 2018 election loss, while Warnock is still seen as a \u201cGeorgia Democrat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven when Warnock won the Senate people were praising Abrams for her work,\u201d Jain said. \u201cSo Stacey Abrams became this type of like, big, Democratic hero on the left, and that comes with some costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/05\/how-much-money-stacey-abrams-make-millionaire-net-worth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Abrams\u2019 net worth<\/a> when she first ran for governor was only $109,000, but has now ballooned to $3.17 million, according to the state disclosures she filed in March, the Associated Press <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/2022-midterm-elections-biden-business-atlanta-georgia-c4e30b9bbabb586ba1f5f5ad8cc0301c\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7422393\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-7422393\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Georgia gubernatorial Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams speaks during a campaign rally on March 14, 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The discrepancy between Abrams and Warnock can be seen in their support from different demographics. In the SurveyUSA poll, Warnock does better with both white and black voters by 10%, which Jain partially attributed to Abrams\u2019 appearing more radical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe doesn\u2019t get as much of the white vote as you need to Georgia. You need to get close to 30% of the white vote if you want to win as a Democrat. Abrams, right now, is in the 20s,\u201d he said. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/29\/pivotal-primary-races-2022-midterms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Here Are The 12 Pivotal Primary Races Of 2022)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walker, meanwhile, is \u201cnot even from Georgia,\u201d Jain said. \u201cHe said a lot of crazy things. He\u2019s basically been Trump\u2019s number one lieutenant and Georgia didn\u2019t even vote for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHerschel Walker is just a disaster of a candidate and national Republicans have been worrying about this for a long time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The strength of Kemp as an incumbent, despite a primary challenge from <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/14\/donald-trump-pac-david-perdue-brian-kemp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump-backed<\/a> former Republican Sen. David Perdue is also a factor. Jain noted the governor is \u201cpretty decently popular with the Atlanta suburbanites that he needs to hold the line with.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kemp has led in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/epolls\/2022\/governor\/Georgia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">polls<\/a> by healthy margins, despite Trump\u2019s frustration with the governor for refusing to overturn President Joe Biden\u2019s 2020 victory in Georgia based on unproven claims of massive voter fraud. From Jain\u2019s perspective, Kemp\u2019s distance from Trump is a net positive, not negative.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
