Republican Karen Handel and Democrat Jon Ossoff are tied — just one week before the runoff election in the hotly contested race for a House seat from Georgia, a new poll conducted for WXIA television in Atlanta revealed.
Here are the poll highlights:
Forty-seven percent support Handel and another 47 percent back Ossoff. Six percent are still undecided. Ninety-one percent of those who voted for President Donald Trump support Handel. Ninety-four percent of those who voted for Hillary Clinton back Ossoff. Ninety-seven percent of "very" conservative voters support Handel. "The findings underscore the fact that this race really comes down to turnout," said Emory political scientist Andra Gillespie. "Both campaigns need to get as many volunteers on the phones and out in neighborhoods reminding voters to turn out on Tuesday. The campaign that has the best organized get-out-the-vote operation will be the one who likely wins this race.
Three weeks ago, a similar poll showed Ossoff ahead by 7 points, the television station noted.
The new poll was conducted by Survey USA. Seven hundred registered voters were interviewed from June 7-11. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Translation Handel wins by 5-10%
In this case the trend is our friend. GO KAREN GO
The traditional tightening of the polls just before the election, when the Democrats in the media remove most of the bias from their polls, before they have to go on the record for being so wrong.
A 5-7% skew is customary.
Hallelujah!
from your lips to gods ears..
Tied? That’s a win for our side... most of us refuse to talk to pollsters.
lol. Let’s pray you’re right. I’ll happy with A WIN.
Not that it would be the end of the world, though it would suck.
But dems would NEVER STFU about it.
Its Georgia nortious for having weird polls far out form election. School just got out and people with kids are on vacation so they couldn’t be polled.
Georgians in Dist. 6 must turn out in force for Pres. Trump or the Democrat media will declare his presidency over. It is deadly serious.
looks like the winning streak will continue!
Wasn’t she supposedly down 7 points last week? If so this is VERY good news..the more people see that leftist turd Ossoff the more people see he is nothing more than a far left shill pretending to be “Moderate” he wants to bring in refugees to Georgia..do people in GA really want that
Handel must win this or we will never hear the end of it.
Nobody hates Trump enough to want THAT clown as their Congressman.
Go VOTE!! - But they will make the same declaration anyway.
No amount of losing will change that.
It's what they do. It's who they are.
If the main stream media has it as a tie it really means the democrat will get his ass kicked. How many points was “President Hillary” ahead before the election? Pardon my error, Trump is The President.
Yes, AND as soon as we win the vile hacks in the MSM will declare the race was meaningless... their democrat candidate flawed, and 'voters' racists...
On the other hand, if democrats can vote enough 'dead' and 'those who don't show up to vote' their MSM hacks will declare it a bellwether race and a total condemnation of Trump.
Soon the old Audit Bureau of Circulation will have to change their standards (downward) so newspapers can lie to their advertisers about number of eyes on ads... because fewer people will pay for propaganda than before...
Wasn’t Trump and Hillary neck and neck right before the election?
Most local polls in GA had Trump ahead right before the election around 2%.
