Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams trailed incumbent Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in a poll from Eastern Carolina University’s Center for Survey Research released Tuesday.
Abrams was 5 points behind Kemp in the poll, garnering 45% of the vote compared to Kemp’s 50%. The matchup will be a rematch between the two politicians, as Abrams lost to Kemp in the 2018 gubernatorial race.
She fared worse than incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, who tied with Republican Herschel Walker in the state’s Senate race, according to the poll. Both Warnock and Walker garnered 46% of respondents’ votes.
Abrams led Kemp with black respondents, holding an 86% to 9% advantage, but trailed with white respondents, holding a 27% to 70% disadvantage, according to the poll. Warnock garnered 83% of the poll’s black vote and 29% of its white vote.
Abrams is seen as more likely to lose than Warnock, due to the perception she is more liberal and her weakness with white voters, election analysts previously told The Daily Caller News Foundation
“Abrams under-runs Warnock in basically every single one of these suburbs and we see it in every single poll,” Lakshya Jain, an election analyst who writes for Split Ticket, told TheDCNF in May. “It has to do with the fact that he’s viewed as less extreme by the electorate less liberal … and the fact that … he’s not running against an incumbent, he is that.”
Walker, who easily won the GOP primary with an endorsement from former President Donald Trump, is seen as a weaker candidate than Kemp, Jain told TheDCNF in May.
“He said a lot of crazy things. He’s basically been Trump’s number one lieutenant and Georgia didn’t even vote for Trump,” Jain said. “Herschel Walker is just a disaster of a candidate and national Republicans have been worrying about this for a long time.”
The poll surveyed 868 registered Georgia voters between June 6-9 and had a margin of error of 3.9%.
Representatives for Abrams, Kemp, Warnock and Walker did not immediately return TheDCNF’s request for comment.

A picture of Abrams conjures up the scene in the movie “Stand by me” featuring lard ass and the pie-eating contest. Electing this beast to any public office would be disastrous for Georgia.
That would be “nasty” baby hippo.
the baby hippo has serious ground to make up…….YES, more ground corn for the hippo! Rest assured she will be frauding and conniving! She is the fraud hippo……mail in fraud, dead people fraud, ballot harvesting fraud, vote 10 times fraud, etc etc etc!!!!
Why in the hell does black voters automatically vote for black candidates regardless of qualifications?
Because they’re mindless shitheels!
Because when people don’t follow the real news and facts ,their easily
Steered ,won over brow beaten .
Bullshit baffles brains .
Stupid is ,what stupid does and that’s what they bank on .
Because their racist. Plain and simple. Thats the only qualification they need. The color of their skin. Their not even following the advice of MLK now. Like all criminals and opportunists , give them an inch and they try to take over the nation. Strange thing just came to mind. With all the millions that the Bidens have acquired , they havent even adopted 1 black child, or any child for that matter. I doubt that they even give to charity. He just likes sitting in the “Oral Office ” pretending hes God. However with Hunter as a son , I guess they dont know how many illegitimates of his are running around out there so they have to make allowances for that unknown variable.
If fugly had an image here it is!
Who says shes ugly? Im sure that theres plenty other hippos and hogs that find her very attractive.
