A little over a week ago, we saw that Red Racing Horses was trying to raise enough funds to conduct a poll in Georgia’s hotly contested Congressional contest. Public surveys have been rather scarce, with most releases having been sponsored by partisan sites or political organizations. We’ve whined in the past about a lack of more data points for special elections, so we decided to do something about it, and jumped in to help sponsor their work. For a full disclosure on their methodology and script, please contact them directly (a brief summary of their sample size, margin of error, and field dates is in italics at the end of this post).
Overall, the RRH poll finds Jon Ossoff in the lead with 39% of the vote, and a demolition derby of Republicans competing for second place in an assumed runoff: Karen Handel has 15%, Bob Gray 12%, Dan Moody 11%, and Judson Hill 10%. They also surveyed another Democrat, Ron Slotin, who earned 4% overall in the poll, and David Abroms, a Republican being backed by Evan McMullin, who earned 3%. Bruce Levell (R) was also surveyed but earned 0%. Combining the share all Democratic candidates and Republicans candidates earned, the Republicans lead slightly with 51% to 43%.
If you are looking for a referendum on President Donald Trump, here’s your district: he sports a 46% approve/ 46% disapprove on his performance as President. Among those who disapprove, Ossoff crushes the rest of the field with 86% of the vote. Among those who approve, it’s all bunched up: Handel earns 24% of these voters, Gray 23%, Hill 21%, and Moody 19%.

I would be shocked if Rs lost this district in the run-off.
But 2 months between 1st round and run-off? Hell, the candidates can take a long vacation and then come back to complete the race!
Hahaha. How long is this McMullen dingleberry going to hang around before he slips back into obscurity?
Trump only won the district by 1 point. The district is suburban Atlanta and it would not be a shock if the Dim won here.
Local repubbie “party” (in Cobb County, just south of this district, but which does hold some of its voters) was a bunch of RINO’s who were ousted in the early March county convention.
New (Cobb County) group is much more conservative, and will fight for the actual voters in this area, not the RINO-GROPe group of Johnny Isakson, Bob Barr, etc who are fighting Trump. (Because he can’t win - as they told me in March of 2016!)
The muddle of 16 !!!! repubbies running this office are the blame of the local RINO party leaders.
Maybe there will be a runoff, and the Democrat can be stopped. But it’s speculation at this point.
What good is it to elect Republicans? So they can talk about Russia influencing the election or how we can’t repeal Obamacare?
Ossoff has been running ads nonstop since Price was confirmed as HHS secretary. The dems are spending a lot trying to steal this seat for the twerp.
Ummm. No offense isn’t that the purpose of any poll.
Please go away.
Honestly I want the GOP to win just to shut the democrats up. I heard there’s not great republicans running anyway. But the dems winning? We’ll never hear the end of it.
I totally agree, Ravi!!!
Our great President deserves all of our support!!!
Indeed, he is our last hope to literally MAGA!!!
I hope Gray wins and proves to be a loyal reliable vote in the House for President Trump for the next seven plus years!!!
Great post, napscoordinator!!
Please see my post #13.
I cannot bear the mere thought of the donkeys winning anything because the majority of them obviously don’t give a damn about what’s in our national interest.
Maybe Trump should have not picked house or senate persons, unneeded time and expenses.
Methinks Trump should host a BIG rally on June 16th...just to make sure.
It was the brain-dead mentality that gave Dems a super majority and stuck us with Obamcare in the first place.
Name two things that jon ossoff has never held. A real job and a woman.
Apparently, there’s an Opinion Savvy poll out tomorrow and they say there’s been ‘some movement’. So we’ll see what they have to say.
Handle if for no other reason as SOS she backed the voter ID act for Ga.Without it Ga would have had a tougher time overcoming the voter fraud.When Deal ran for governor and won it was a blowout.The last demorat governor roy scumbag barnes lost reelection to Purdue and was one of the liars challenging the voter ID law later.
