Senate Majority Leader was picked up on a hot microphone briefing President Joe Biden on close Senate races.
“It looks like the debate didn’t hurt us too much in Pennsylvania as of today, so that’s good…we’re picking up steam in Nevada…The state where we’re going downhill is Georgia. It’s hard to believe that they will go for Herschel Walker,” Schumer said to the President.
Schumer to Biden on the midterms:

According to the Rassmussen poll, Walker is a head because he is winning the support of independents.
Walker’s lead is mainly due to his 14-point margin among independent voters. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Georgia Republican voters would vote for Walker and 81% of Democrats would vote for Warnock, while among voters not affiliated with either major party, Walker leads 49% to 35%.
538 shows that Oz has taken a slight lead in the race.
