Final WSB-TV poll: Ossoff and Handel deadlocked in Georgias 6th

Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel are neck-and-neck in the race to represent Georgia’s 6th District, according to a WSB-TV poll released on the eve of the nationally-watched vote.

Only one-tenth of a percentage point separated the two rivals in the poll conducted by Landmark Communications, which has both hovering at 49 percent. Just 2 percent of voters are undecided and the margin of error is 4.4 percent.

The poll of 500 likely voters was conducted on Monday and is the first taken since last week’s ambush of Republican lawmakers at a baseball practice and the threatening letters sent to Handel and several of her neighbors.

The poll showed a majority of voters who had yet to cast their ballots said the recent shootings had no effect on their decision. About one-third of election-day voters said the attack would make them “more likely” to cast their ballots, and most of those were Republican.
