A new poll shows Democrat Jon Ossoff with a 7-point lead against Republican Karen Handel ahead of the runoff election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District.
Of the 700 voters interviewed in the SurveyUSA poll conducted for Atlanta TV station WXIA, Ossoff leads with 51 percent compared to Handel’s 44 percent. Six percent of respondents were undecided and the margin of error was 4.3 percent.
Voters in the district were surveyed as evenly split on the Republican proposal to replace the 2010 health care law signed by former President Barack Obama, with 47 percent supporting and an equal number opposing.

I hope the democrats spend a fortune trying to win this one congressional seat.
I’m guessing that in the last 12 days there will be visits from Pence, Trump, Palin, Newt, Cruz, Rubio & Ivanka...
And Handel wins by 6% or more.
The district probably changed in the last few decades.
Perhaps some credibility in the poll. The district demographics are more urban, Handel is not a strong candidate, and the GOP needs to heal wounds amongst themselves. An Ossoff win would not be shocking nor would it be the end of the world for the President and the agenda. My kin in the district just are not excited about the special election. Apathy may favor the Pajama Boy.
Why should I care? Just another do nothing Republican who will fight against Trump at the end of the day anyways. Prove that a Republican controlled house makes a difference before asking for more money and votes.
Bullshit. More fake push polls from the same fake news crowd.— and, of course, wishful thinking by you, as you indulge your usual negative anti-Trump impulses.
Trump voters—just like in November—are furious and don't have any interest in phony polls.
Karen Handel will win this race handily, unless she makes the mistake of being lukewarm in her support of President Trump. Take it to the bank.
"People are abandoning the Republicans in droves"? Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS™) is still making the rounds here on FR, I see...
If Ossoff wins, part of blame is to Judge who re-opened registration http://www.myajc.com/news/state—regional-govt—politics/georgia-6th-district-has-added-500-voters-with-more-coming/JngfyKxyryRWupkDcnTVsN/
President Trump needs to hold a rally in the district.
The poll claims that men are lining up to cast their ballots for Pajama Boy Ossoff. Hard to believe. Real hard.
Hillary will be President too. Don’t sweat this poll, it is far outside the main stream of every other poll. Its BS.
“The district probably changed in the last few decades.”
That should be of concern to us all, because it’s happening with most districts today. Illegal immigration will prevail unless it is ended. Illegals only have to wait a generation for their “legal children” to establish primacy.
Great suggestion. He should bring HHS Secretary Price and Newt (two previous holders of this CD seat) with him as well.
Well that’s it. Trump will be impeached and Pence will be voted out in 2020. /s
I get so sick of the knee-jerk “hate Ryan” comments. And from someone with your screen name too. Ironic.
How many points did USA Today have Hillary up the day before the election?
Last poll from Montana that I saw had Gianforte up 6. I would hope for a better showing but time will tell...
Fake post. They are not and it’s not working. Stop buying what they’re selling. Thus is only wishful thinking. Dems loose this one and Montana.
Well, that IS a good point.
Do you have any idea how many elections the Dems, local, state and federal, have lost over the last 6-8 years in the middle of all this demographic shift, illegal immigration surge AND a lackluster national Repub party?
