Raphael Warnock, who won, while about 22% favored Republican opponent Herschel Walker.
It showed that support for Warnock in the runoff exceeded that in the general election last month, when 60% said they favored Warnock. The percentage who favored Walker, however, dipped from the 33% support in the midterms.The survey, which also broke down voters by ethnicity, showed that Bangladeshi Americans had the highest support for Warnock, at over 96%, with Walker getting about 4%. Chinese Americans, who showed the lowest support for the senator, still overwhelmingly favored him, at 61.
