ATLANTA — Herschel Walker is ignoring his Senate GOP rivals and focusing entirely on a November match-up against U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll indicates he has little reason to change course.
With soaring name recognition and former President Donald Trump’s backing, the former University of Georgia football star leads the GOP primary field with 66% of support. His closest competitor, Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, was at 7%.
The other three contenders polled within the 3.3 percentage point margin of error: former state Rep. Josh Clark, construction contractor Kelvin King, U.S. Army veteran John McColumn and former Navy SEAL Latham Saddler.
