Herschel Walker closes gap with Sen. Warnock, now leads by 3 points in Georgia Senate poll

The Senate race in Georgia appears to be shifting back in the GOP's favor, according to a new poll that shows Herschel Walker as the favorite in the midterm election over incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga.

An InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 Atlanta poll released Thursday suggests Walker has taken the lead in the Georgia race, one of the most closely watched Senate races in the nation, with the football legend receiving 47% support from voters in the Peach State over Warnock's 44% support.

The latest poll shows a two-point increase for Walker and a four-point decrease in Warnock's support since a July poll — a major shift in the race just two months before the midterm elections.
