Walker is a football hero. Georgia, a football loving state, knows who Walker is. They believe the hype rather than the truth. The media continues to push the idea that the United States is in trouble, despite the job growth, the wage growth, and recovery from a deadly pandemic. They keep pushing that it will be a "horrible" year for Democrats, which helps to depress the vote.
Warnock is a good man who has already done good things in the Senate, but the narrative is currently against him. The narrative needs to change. I think that Warnock will pull it out. Another problem is that we are still fairly far away so right now people are squawking to make their money as pollsters and pundits. A lot can happen between now and November.
