<p>ATLANTA- Whatever happens on Election Day, it doesn&#8217;t seem like Georgia&#8217;s GOP Senate candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/herschel-walker-reminds-pastor-raphael-warnock-theres-a-baby-in-that-room-as-well-on-abortion-question-during-debate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herschel Walker</a> will lose on Tuesday.</p>
<p>At worst, he and his opponent — incumbent<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/raphael-warnock" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Senator Raphael Warnock</a> (D-GA) — will head to a runoff election. At best — as one top Atlanta-based pollster says is still likely —  he will win outright thanks to in part to the success of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) as well as Walker&#8217;s success amongst black voters.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ironically, the poor performance by [Democrat gubernatorial candidate] Stacey Abrams in her contest appears to be impacting Sen. Warnock in his race,&#8221; pollster Matt Towery recently <a href="https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/georgia-midterm-election-insideradvantage-poll-results-kemp-walker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox 5.</p>
<p>Towery, who heads up the polling firm InsiderAdvantage, says that his final poll shows that Walker is currently leading 49% to 47%. In order to win outright, either candidate must win 50% or more of the total vote.</p>
<p>Towery says that the strength of other GOP candidates on the ballot could assist the former Heisman Trophy winner over that hump.</p>
<p>&#8220;Brian Kemp&#8217;s strong performance may well &#8216;lift all boats and put Walker over the necessary 50% plus one needed to escape a runoff,&#8221; he added in a statement. &#8220;We expect Kemp to hit at least the 54% mark in the final vote and likely above that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Towery also said that Walker is hitting all the right demographics that are key to forming a winning coalition.</p>
<p>&#8220;The final breakdown of early voting in Georgia indicates a less than robust African American turnout,&#8221; he explained. &#8220;Our weighting adjusts that demographic at a higher final percentage in the event there is a more traditional/more robust turnout on Election Day. While African Americans traditionally vote in overwhelming numbers for Democrats, our recent surveys have shown Walker with a solid 20% of that vote. Among white voters, Walker is surpassing the &#8216;magic&#8217; 61% usually needed for a Republican to win in the state.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another poll by Trafalgar Group also shows that Walker is inching toward victory on Tuesday night. According to Trafalgar, Walker <a href="https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/news/ga-sen-1107/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leads</a> Warnock 49.7% to 46.5%.</p>
<p>The momentum appears to be on Walker&#8217;s side as well. As <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/herschel-walker-hasnt-trailed-in-the-last-six-polls-in-the-realclearpolitics-average/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pointed</a> out by National Review&#8217;s Rich Lowry, the Republican hasn’t trailed in the last six polls in the RealClearPolitics polling average.</p>
<p>Despite Warnock attempting to bill himself as a moderate, Walker has been hitting the Democrat hard for his support for President Joe Biden&#8217;s agenda.</p>
<p>&#8220;He talked about I’m not ready. No, you’re not ready,&#8221; Walker <a href="https://www.wabe.org/warnock-walker-get-personal-in-georgias-closing-arguments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> recently in response to criticism from Warnock that he was unqualified for the Senate. &#8220;Because you either voted with Joe Biden 96% of the time, or you had no clue what you were doing. You pick which one you want — no clue of what you’re doing or you voted with him 96% of the time which is headed in the wrong direction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Should the election go to a runoff, the <a href="https://www.sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/forms/2022%20State%20Scheduled%20Elections%20Short%20Calendar.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top two vote-getters</a> will face off against each other again on December 6.</p>
