The state of Georgia is certainly one to keep an eye on as we continue to inch closer and
closer to the midterm elections, because one there's a Senate seat that actually could
end up determining who controls the Senate, you know, which party, and two, a very contentious
gubernatorial race that could see the state of Georgia officially go blue, blue.
And according to the latest polling data, Republicans are not doing well in the state
of Georgia at all.
So let's start with the big one, right?
Herschel Walker, challenging democratic incumbent, Rafael Warnock, and Herschel Walker, even
though he cruised to a very easy primary victory is struggling a bit against Senator Warnock.
In fact, according to the latest polls, Walker is down 10 points to Rafael Warnock, Herschel
Walker, of course, former football star endorsed by Donald Trump, which helped him sail to
it.
Again, an easy primary victory, like not even close, the guy won very easily, but now that
he's out there with the general public, they're not such such big fans of him anymore.
Let me read some of these numbers.
Warnock's overall 10 point lead is fueled by a 62 to 33% advantage over Walker among
independent voters.
That's the big one, right?
Because of course the Democrats are gonna vote for Warnock.
The, uh, Republicans are gonna vote for Walker.
So for Warnock to have a double digit, you have a 30 point lead over Walker with the
independence.
I don't wanna say that seals the deal, cuz it's too early in the race to say that.
But if those numbers hold, uh, uh, Walker has no chance of victory whatsoever.
Um, a double digit lead among females compared to Walker's single digit margin among males
Warnock wins among black voters.
88% to 10% Walker wins the support of white voters.
62% to 35%.
So Warnock is winning by double digits among women.
Walker is winning by single digit digits with men, black voters overwhelmingly go to Warnock
instead of Walker.
But those white people, man, they just love Republicans.
And that's why they're going to Walker.
But as I said, that's not the only contentious race happening in the state of Georgia.
Just a couple weeks ago.
You know, after the primary dust had settled, they did a poll and uh, Stacy Abrams, the
democratic candidate was losing by five points to Brian Kemp.
The incumbent Republican governor, the latest poll shows the two of them tied at 48% a piece.
We're
Not talking about a statistical tie when you factor in margin of error.
No, no, no.
We're talking about a legitimate tie.
48 to 48 Abrams has closed that five point gap in about two weeks in the state of Georgia.
That is massive.
That that is a, a major flip in the polls.
A five point flip in just two weeks for Stacey Abrams, who of course has put her heart and
soul into the state of Georgia has done phenomenal work is basically the big reason Georgia even
turned blue.
Uh, she's the kind of leader by the way, the democratic party needs to be looking at for
the future.
Really smart, really hardworking just, and overall somebody.
I, I, I just love her as a candidate.
I truly do.
Um, so that's what's happening in Georgia.
Again, the gubernatorial race is exceptionally important, cuz we have seen some horrific
legislation in the state of Georgia.
If Abrams can pull off a victory, maybe we can stop the bleeding there, but the, uh,
Walker V Warnock race for Senate also important because if Warnock pulls off this victory
in Georgia, it's pretty much been assumed among, you know, the political elite that
we were gonna lose that seat to begin with, you know, a couple months ago, that was the
general assumption Democrats were gonna lose Georgia.
And that kind of, you know, throws the whole house, uh, Senate Ray, excuse me, who controls
it into limbo?
It's not looking like that right now.
Same thing in Pennsylvania, that could be a Republican seat that flips to Democrats
because John Federman is absolutely mopping the floor with Dr. Oz in that regard, at least
in the Senate, things are looking good for Democrats, not so much in the house, not so
much on the presidential side, but with those Senate races, Democrats are doing shockingly
well and you love to see it.
Don't ya.
