Dave Mason of BetOnline advised via Twitter that the Democratic candidate Reverend Raphael Gamaliel Warnock would be closing at -210, a fairly significant favorite over GOP candidate Kelly Loeffler (+170).

Democrat Jon Ossoff, on the other hand, had dropped to -110 with Republican incumbant David Purdue now the slight favorite at -120. This particular race is essentially a tie.

But it does suggest that Warnock may have garnered the most popularity among the four candidates while voters were less enamoured with both Loeffler and Ossoff.
