Poll: Dem Ossoff leads by 7 in Georgia House race
BY MARK HENSCH - 06/09/17 08:27 AM EDT

Democrat Jon Ossoff is leading Republican Karen Handel by 7 points in Georgia’s House special election, according to a new poll, 51 percent to 44 percent.

Five percent in the the Atlanta Journal-Constitution survey released Friday remain undecided in the nationally watched race to replace former Rep. Tom Price (R), who left to become President Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary.

It's the first poll released since the two debated earlier this week.

Ossoff has lifted Democrats’ hopes of picking off the longtime GOP-held seat, one Republicans have held since 1979.

In a survey released just over a week ago, Ossoff led Handel by a single point.

1. Handel is vile.

2. We need more Democrats that can put up a fight in conservative, southern districts.

And we need to respect and accept that those Democrats won't agree with us 100% on policy.
