The last Emerson poll in April showed Walker with a 4-point lead, indicating a minor tightening of the race, with Walker still maintaining an edge within the margin of error.<\/p>\n<p>The Emerson survey follows a month of data from other pollsters that found Warnock with a small but consistent lead over the former NFL star. Walker is currently trailing Warnock by 3.3 points in the Real Clear Politics polling average.<\/p>\n<p>Walker\u2019s advantage is most prominent among rural and suburban voters, according to Emerson.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Walker leads Warnock among rural voters 58 percent to 24 percent while Warnock leads Walker 66 percent to 25 percent among urban voters,&#8221;<br \/>Emerson reported. &#8220;In the suburbs, voters are breaking for Walker by a nine-point margin, 50 percent to 41 percent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The poll also showed Republican governor Brian Kemp ahead of Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, 48 percent to 44 percent.<\/p>\n<p>While the races remain tight, there are still signs Democrats face an uphill battle in the state. Fifty-seven percent said they disapprove of President Joe Biden\u2019s job so far. A plurality of respondents, 36 percent, said their top concern is the economy\u2014a 16-point lead over those who listed &#8220;abortion access&#8221; as their main issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Herschel Walker, the Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, is holding a lead against Democratic senator Raphael Warnock, according to a poll by Emerson College on Tuesday.
