But he don\u2019t know I can catch him,\u201d Walker said, drawing a big laugh from the crowd, many old enough to remember when Walker, better known locally as a Georgia Bulldogs football player, before going on to an illustrious athletic career that included pro football, track, mixed martial arts, and the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>One major forecaster, Real Clear Politics, shows Walker averaging a half a percentage point ahead of Warnock and rates the race a toss-up. The last three polls listed by different firms, all in late August or early September, have shown Walker ahead variously by 1 to 3 percentage points, within the margin of error.
