Here’s the latest news today out of Georgia courtesy of Quinnipiac University’s latest poll:
In the race for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock leads 54 - 44 percent over Republican challenger Herschel Walker, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of Georgia registered voters released today.
In Quinnipiac's January 2022 poll, the race was very tight with 49 percent of voters supporting Walker and 48 percent supporting Warnock.
In today's poll, Democrats (97 - 2 percent) and independents (62 - 33 percent) back Warnock, while Republicans (93 - 7 percent) back Walker.
There are big differences by gender, race, and age.
Warnock wins the support of women 61 - 37 percent, while Walker wins the support of men 52 - 45 percent.
Warnock wins the backing of Black voters 88 - 10 percent, while Walker wins the backing of white voters 62 - 35 percent.
