A new poll by the Georgia News Collaborative, which includes WABE, shows Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock leading their challengers Stacey Abrams and Herschel Walker. 

The survey revealed big gaps between candidates from the same party.

The poll was conducted the last week of September into the first few days of October and did not fully capture how abortion and abuse allegations against Walker are reverberating on the campaign trail.
