Incumbent Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock holds a slight lead over GOP challenger Herschel Walker, according to a poll released Friday, four days before Election Day in the Peach State's Senate runoff race.

The CNN poll shows Warnock with support from 52% of likely voters, compared to 48% for Walker.

The 4-point edge is consistent with other polls and the RealClearPolitics.com polls average

Warnock finished slightly ahead in the Nov. 8 election but failed to cross the 50% threshold, forcing the runoff.

The poll also showed the economy and inflation are the most important issues in the race, with 46% of respondents saying  two issues will be the biggest factors in their balloting.

The CNN poll was among 1,886 registered voters with a margin of error of 3 percentage points, The Hill reports
