Poll: Democrat up 7 points in Georgia House race

By Mark Hensch


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.

I learned from my sister recently that our father, who fought in WWII and has been gone for 20 years now, was good friends with Jon's grandfather, Hy Ossoff, who went to war with our father from Peabody, MA in the 40s!

Sure hope Jon wins! Quist in MT, too!
