Warnock Negatives Skyrocket in Georgia

A flood of negative advertising against both candidates in Georgia appears to be hurting Sen. Raphael Warnock’s (D.) image more than Republican challenger Herschel Walker’s in the final weeks of the election, according to an internal Walker campaign poll obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

While the internal polling shows a tight race, consistent with independent surveys showing the race within the margin of error, Walker’s pollster says the surveys show that criticism of Warnock is starting to take a toll on his favorability rating in the run-up to Election Day.

Warnock’s favorability rating has dipped to 40 percent, a 5-point decrease since the campaign’s previous poll taken 10 days ago, prior to the debate. The portion of respondents who view Warnock unfavorably has also increased 3 points, to 47 percent.
