Poll: Herschel Walker Leads Democrat Raphael Warnock; Now over the 50% Threshold

A recent Echelon Insights survey shows Republican Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker leading Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) by seven percentage points, surpassing the 50 percent threshold in the Peach State.

The survey asked respondents, “If the election for U.S. Senate were held today, would you vote for Herschel Walker, the Republican candidate, Raphael Warnock, the Democratic candidate, or Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party candidate?”

Among definite voters, Walker garners 51 percent support to Warnock’s 44 percent. The difference of seven percent is outside of the survey’s +/- 5.4 percent margin of error. 

Further, Walker’s 51 percent is above the state’s 50 percent threshold, which would mean, if these figures hold up, the Republican could win the election outright without a runoff, which would be scheduled for December 6:
