The former University of Georgia football star now leads Warnock 47% \u2013 44%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWarnock 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%,\u201d InsiderAdvantage Chairman Matt Towery <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/new-insideradvantage-fox-5-poll-kemp-widens-lead-over-abrams-senate-race-remains-tight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Fox 5. \u201cWalker is receiving 12% support from African American respondents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Towery also predicted that Georgia could see another run-off election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Warnock defeated then-GOP Senator Kelly Loeffler when the general election went into a run-off after neither candidate secured more than 50% of the vote.<\/p>\n<p>In late August, a similar poll from Emerson College <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/georgias-kemp-walker-maintain-leads-in-latest-major-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">showed<\/a> that Walker leads Warnock 46 \u2013 44%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWalker leads Warnock among rural voters 58% to 24% while Warnock leads Walker 66% to 25% among urban voters. In the suburbs, voters are breaking for Walker by a nine-point margin, 50% to 41%,\u201d Spencer Kimball, Executive Director of Emerson College Polling, said in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Walker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/midterm-exam-all-the-latest-on-the-2022-elections-part-two-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released<\/a> a fiery new ad, blasting his Democratic pastor opponent over his comments on race, as well as recent rhetoric from other members of the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Warnock believes America is a bad country full of racist people,\u201d Walker said in the ad. \u201cI believe we\u2019re a great country full of generous people. Warnock wants to divide us. I want to bring us together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walker is endorsed by former President Donald J.
