Ossoff (D) dominates 6th district poll. This is Price's empty seat

http://www.11alive.com/news/politics/exclusive-poll-democrat-john-ossoff-dominates-republican-stronghold-district-6/428494693

An exclusive poll commissioned by 11Alive News and conducted by SurveyUSA shows Democrat and political newcomer Jon Ossoff dominating in the race to replace Republican Tom Price in Georgia's sixth Congressional district.

Price was named Donald Trump secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, leaving a vacuum that will be filled through an April 18 special election and, if needed, a June 20 runoff. The race has national implications as both parties scramble to grab the seat.

In the 11Alive poll, Ossoff grabs 43% of likely voters. Republicans Karen Handel (15%), Bob Gray (14%), and Dan Moody (7%) round out the top four. All other candidates combined make up 15%, and an additional 7% are undecided. Right now, Ossoff polls below the 50% needed to avoid a runoff.
