Poll: Democrat up 7 points in Georgia House race
By Mark Hensch - 05/22/17 06:20 PM EDT
Democrat Jon Ossoff is 7 points ahead of Republican Karen Handel in the race for Georgia’s 6th District House seat, according to a SurveyUSA survey released Monday.
Fifty-one percent of likely and actual voters in Georgia say they would vote for Ossoff if the election were held today. Forty-four percent say they would vote for Handel, while 6 percent are undecided.
The runoff will be held June 20, and is being closely watched by both parties as a potential bellwether for how President Trump could affect the 2018 elections.
Trump won Georgia’s 6th District by 1.5 percent in November despite the district typically voting Republican.
