For the record, I don't know the internals of the poll. I do know that he has received a massive infusion of money from liberals outside the district.

This poll says he gets 13% of Republicans - concerning if true. However, Trump doesn't have a 100% approval rating among Republicans, so it could be more liberal Republicans who oppose Trump.

Would it surprise me if he won? No, it wouldn't. He has an energized "resistance," the media is promoting him like he's a young Obama, and the Republicans have so far failed to get their agenda done.

Starting with healthcare was a mistake, and Trump's instincts were 100% right on that. I blame Trump's communications team and the Republican communications team, though, because now that you are doing healthcare, you need to be promoting the bill. As usual, the Democrats have 100% of the narrative out there with a willing media doing their legwork for them. The Republicans/Trump need to be doing listening sessions, town halls, press events, putting out videos, putting out ads, etc. showing all the people negatively effected by Obamacare, the negative effects of Obamacare, and promote their bill - explain why it will help people. (Trump has had a few such events, but the media doesn't cover them, so they need to be streamed over his Twitter and promoted better.) They have failed to do this, and guess what? The Democrats have won the narrative - millions will lose influence, granny is getting thrown over a cliff, people will die in the streets, etc. Obamacare is more popular than the healthcare bill that helped get them elected. Inexcusable yet predictable with the Republicans. You don't give floundering Dems something to coalesce and run on. Let it fail, blame them, and swoop in. Otherwise, promote the bill you are trying to pass or you have a bill in which no one understands and a narrative driven by your opponents.

Ossoff has capitalized on the feckless Republicans, and if they don't start getting things done AND promoting/explaining their legislations, it will only benefit the Democrats. The Democrats can pass bills because they aren't as divided. They are content with moving the goalposts.

I think this election was decided in their debate when Handel took a scalpel to his package.

Plus another post a few days ago say that some of these polls are including Metro Atlanta which is heavily black and leftarded.

Sao a White Male is beating a Female. I’m sure the Democrats haven’t figured out their own issue with demeaning women?

President Trump won this district by 49 to 47% approximately.
The poll used 50 to 40% with more Hillary voters.
Price got about 61%.

You forgot to mention that the majority of Americans hate Obumacare, but I expect that from you.

You cherry-pick data to make Trump look bad. You blame Trump and his team a lot. Looks like you got your Soros talking points.

You also didn’t mention that the majority of Americans don’t believe the leftist propaganda press. Why not?

You’re a Soros troll.

Pray for rain in Georgia on election day. His base won’t come out in the rain.

Tomorrow I will be making another donation to the Handel campaign. I will be doing what I can to see that she wins.

I’m curious; how does someone in Ohio presume to know more about us here in the Georgia Sixth, than those of us that live here?

I live in this district. I get at least 5 calls a day from pollsters. I already voted for Handel. I refuse to take these silly push polls and I either hang up, ignore the call or take the phone off the hook. It’s the same old reason polls are bad - republicans don’t like to participate.

I would be concerned if it was a more believable 3 point spread. 7 points? Nope not believable.
