Roll Call ^ | May 23, 2017 | Eric Garcia

Posted on 05/23/2017 2:05:27 PM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

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.

Since 1980 Texas has voted Republican but the
percentage is declining as you say.

Texas Statewide popular vote
52.2% - Trump
43.2% - Clinton

“Makes sense. The medias attacks on Trump and “Russiagate” are working. People arw abondoning the Republicans droves.”


I thought I just read that 84% of Republicans support Trump?
Is that correct?

There is only one solution. Each State must REQUIRE proof
of citizen ship in order to register to vote. They need to establish that on-going and then do a re-register of all existing voters requiring proof of citizenship. I wrote to my delegate, did you?

Not really. Handel is a disaster. She is not well liked and comes across as the political whore that she is

When people say that a person could be a “Paul Ryan Loser” they dont say it with any emotion. That there is pure cognative thought.

If Karen Handle wanted to win then she would attack the eatablishment for both parties in her ads, like Osoff is doing.
I smell too much Paul Ryan in this one.

You must be a SOROS-bot. Your comments give you away. ARE you even a US citizen? Your horrible spelling indicates that English is not your native tongue. Go away loser.

Right. And it’s cognitive. If you’re going to use big words, learn to spell them first.

Loser. I say that without any emotion, by the way. Although, I probably should have said Looser, since lose and loose seem to confuse so many.

And actually, I’m just kidding with this entire exchange. I was just getting bored and figured an insult would get a conversation going.

Take out all the “Paul Ryan persons” and Pelosi is Speaker with a GIGANTIC majority and John Conyers is leading impeachment proceedings.

Ossoff is another fag, just what DC needs.

The size of the primary field has nothing to do with this and nothing is wrong with Handel.

The problem is libs have flooded into this district, Shillery almost carried it. And dems are motivated by Trump hate to turnout.

Outlier, no way he’s up by 7.

But he may very well be up by 2 or so. This is gonna be a close race. Hopefully the queer loses.

What’s wrong with her? She was my top pick for Senate instead of Perdue.

She is the classic political office seeker. She has always been after the next better slot. She is not a tea party supporter. She is someone who will sell out the district to Ryan’s agenda

Unfortunately, the alternative is Ossoff. Handel has to pull this one off for obvious reasons.

Key point in this poll:

The poll interviewed 700 registered voters, 549 of whom either already voted in the runoff or were certain to vote before June 12. Both cell phone and landline numbers were used.

151 of those surveyed should’ve had their responses tossed outright. Only likely voters count. Registered voter polls are worthless (unless you’re merely trying to gauge public opinion).

With over 20% a bogus padding, 6% undecided AND a MOE of 4.3%, this race is either tied or she has a slight lead.

===============================================

SAMPLE COMMENTS: Some voters are wondering if Democrat candidate Osoff has mentioned infanticide..... or mercy killing of the disabled..... as a winning issue?

Democrats just lost a race---in Omaha---the race that got caught in the abortion debate.

DNC head Tom Perez recently declared abortion-on-demand is Democrats' ticket to victory. So if that's not working, it might be plausible that Democrat candidates are looking at infanticide....perhaps mercy killing of the disabled...... for winning issues.

============================================

In Kansas couple weeks ago, Republican candidate Estes won by a commanding eight points. Yet Mr Ossoff in GA failed to prevent a runoff...even though Mr Ossoff had some 10 million dollars in donations.

Earlier Democrats lost again b/c they failed to flip Zero Seats in Four Blue State Special Elections. Those total Democrat humiliations by the Russians occurred right after DNC genius Tom Perez bragged Democrats would show that that "resistance to Trump" could be translated into electoral victories.

To add insult to injury, the Minnesota, Connecticut, Virginia Democrat losses are the states the Russians threw to Hillary in the 2016 presidential election.

Go figure.

Of course polls say the dem is winning. Did anyone expect otherwise?

After Trump these things are useless and should be clearly identified as political tools.

There are VERY FEW conservative women in office or running for office. We aren’t stupid.
