WSB poll: Warnock soars ahead in wild Georgia U.S. Senate race
The race for president between Donald Trump and Joe Biden in Georgia remains deadlocked in the latest Channel 2 Action News poll, but the contest for a wild U.S. Senate special election now has a clear front-runner.
Democrat Raphael Warnock tallied 36% in the poll released Friday, staking a double-digit lead over the two top Republicans in the race. U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler was pegged at 26%, while U.S. Rep. Doug Collins was at 23%. About 8% were undecided in the poll of 600 likely voters, which had a margin of error of 4 percentage points. It’s among several recent polls that show Warnock’s standing rising in the 21-candidate special election for Loeffler’s seat, which is expected to end in a January runoff between the two top vote-getters. https://www.ajc.com/politics/politics-blog/wsb-poll-warnock-soars-ahead-in-wild-georgia-us-senate-race/5KZXEATP6ZCZXKNEE6EWWH5B6Q/?fbclid=IwAR136nvExni-9RYnXP_icH29RX8e58NbUFmBq7os52iEhxre66SVN9qmYaE

1. YES!
So glad to see this, especially:
Warnock’s gains came largely at the expense of fellow Democrat Matt Lieberman, who tallied just 3% in the poll. Lieberman faces extraordinary pressure to quit the race and clear the way for Warnock, who is backed by prominent state and national Democratic figures.
![]() It echoed recent surveys of Georgia’s other U.S. Senate race that show a tight contest between Republican Sen. David Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff. Perdue logged 47% in the WSB poll, while Ossoff was at 46%. Libertarian Shane Hazel had about 2%, while an additional 6% of voters were undecided.
C'mon Ossoff. You can do it! |

2. Warnock Will Make Run Off With 36% But Collins + Loeffler Combine for 49% In The Poll
The combined total for the Dems doesn't total at 49%. We have to hope there is some GOP defection once we know whether Collins or Loeffler will be the GOP candidate.

3. I don't know what's better. Seeing Loeffler lose or Gaetz's boy Collins lose?
Hopefully we'll see both.

4. I would be wonderful to have a Democratic Senator from GA.
It's been a long time coming.
