At best \u2014 as one top Atlanta-based pollster says is still likely \u2014\u00a0 he will win outright thanks to in part to the success of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) as well as Walker\u2019s success amongst black voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIronically, the poor performance by [Democrat gubernatorial candidate] Stacey Abrams in her contest appears to be impacting Sen. Warnock in his race,\u201d pollster Matt Towery recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox5atlanta.com\/news\/georgia-midterm-election-insideradvantage-poll-results-kemp-walker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> Fox 5.<\/p>\n<p>Towery, who heads up the polling firm InsiderAdvantage, says that his final poll shows that Walker is currently leading 49% to 47%. In order to win outright, either candidate must win 50% or more of the total vote.<\/p>\n<p>Towery says that the strength of other GOP candidates on the ballot could assist the former Heisman Trophy winner over that hump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrian Kemp\u2019s strong performance may well \u2018lift all boats and put Walker over the necessary 50% plus one needed to escape a runoff,\u201d he added in a statement. \u201cWe expect Kemp to hit at least the 54% mark in the final vote and likely above that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Towery also said that Walker is hitting all the right demographics that are key to forming a winning coalition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe final breakdown of early voting in Georgia indicates a less than robust African American turnout,\u201d he explained. \u201cOur weighting adjusts that demographic at a higher final percentage in the event there is a more traditional\/more robust turnout on Election Day. While African Americans traditionally vote in overwhelming numbers for Democrats, our recent surveys have shown Walker with a solid 20% of that vote. Among white voters, Walker is surpassing the \u2018magic\u2019 61% usually needed for a Republican to win in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another poll by Trafalgar Group also shows that Walker is inching toward victory on Tuesday night. According to Trafalgar, Walker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrafalgargroup.org\/news\/ga-sen-1107\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leads<\/a> Warnock 49.7% to 46.5%.<\/p>\n<p>The momentum appears to be on Walker\u2019s side as well. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/herschel-walker-hasnt-trailed-in-the-last-six-polls-in-the-realclearpolitics-average\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pointed<\/a> out by National Review\u2019s Rich Lowry, the Republican hasn\u2019t trailed in the last six polls in the RealClearPolitics polling average.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Warnock attempting to bill himself as a moderate, Walker has been hitting the Democrat hard for his support for President Joe Biden\u2019s agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe talked about I\u2019m not ready. No, you\u2019re not ready,\u201d Walker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wabe.org\/warnock-walker-get-personal-in-georgias-closing-arguments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> recently in response to criticism from Warnock that he was unqualified for the Senate. \u201cBecause you either voted with Joe Biden 96% of the time, or you had no clue what you were doing.
