Among various polls conducted this year pitting Warnock against Walker, 11Alive’s result is the strongest yet for Warnock. Walker leads by 1.6 points in the Real Clear Politics average, while three additional polls released since January have shown him leading by 1 to 4 points.

Walker has former President Donald Trump’s strong support, which has helped him develop a significant lead in the Republican primary. However, in a general election, independents prefer Warnock by a 49 percent to 43 percent majority in 11Alive polling, while those same voters back Georgia’s incumbent Republican Governor Brian Kemp 45 percent to 42 percent against Democrat Stacey Abrams.

Self-identified conservatives, who constituted up 44% of survey respondents, prefer Walker 75 percent to 19 percent to Warnock, falling behind Kemp’s 80 percent to 17 percent lead against Abrams. Self-identified “moderate” voters (32%) choose Warnock 63 percent to 30 percent. The same demographic backs Abrams, but with a smaller margin – 55 percent to 37 percent.

White voters choose Walker 65-28 percent, while black voters prefer Warnock, the pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Martin Luther King Jr. spoke.

Hispanic voters are split 48-46 percent in support of Warnock. In this survey, the demographic backed Kemp 49-45 percent.

Surprisingly, the research indicates that 2020 Trump backers have not entirely embraced Walker’s candidacy; while they give Walker an 84-9 percent margin against Warnock, 7% of those voters say they are still unsure. Gov. Kemp, on the other hand, has a 90-7 percent edge over Abrams among Trump backers, with only 4% uncertain.
