For the record, I don't know the internals of the poll. I do know that he has received a massive infusion of money from liberals outside the district.

This poll says he gets 13% of Republicans - concerning if true. However, Trump doesn't have a 100% approval rating among Republicans, so it could be more liberal Republicans who oppose Trump.

Would it surprise me if he won? No, it wouldn't. He has an energized "resistance," the media is promoting him like he's a young Obama, and the Republicans have so far failed to get their agenda done.

Starting with healthcare was a mistake, and Trump's instincts were 100% right on that. I blame Trump's communications team and the Republican communications team, though, because now that you are doing healthcare, you need to be promoting the bill. As usual, the Democrats have 100% of the narrative out there with a willing media doing their legwork for them. The Republicans/Trump need to be doing listening sessions, town halls, press events, putting out videos, putting out ads, etc. showing all the people negatively effected by Obamacare, the negative effects of Obamacare, and promote their bill - explain why it will help people. (Trump has had a few such events, but the media doesn't cover them, so they need to be streamed over his Twitter and promoted better.) They have failed to do this, and guess what? The Democrats have won the narrative - millions will lose influence, granny is getting thrown over a cliff, people will die in the streets, etc. Obamacare is more popular than the healthcare bill that helped get them elected. Inexcusable yet predictable with the Republicans. You don't give floundering Dems something to coalesce and run on. Let it fail, blame them, and swoop in. Otherwise, promote the bill you are trying to pass or you have a bill in which no one understands and a narrative driven by your opponents.

Ossoff has capitalized on the feckless Republicans, and if they don't start getting things done AND promoting/explaining their legislations, it will only benefit the Democrats. The Democrats can pass bills because they aren't as divided. They are content with moving the goalposts.

If he loses can we finally stop posting about, what seems to be, consistently flawed polls?

“I do know that he has received a massive infusion of money from liberals outside the district.”

Why aren’t Republicans from outside the district contributing to her campaign?

This is that same garbage poll by Abt Associates reported earlier. The firm is not a polling firm, they are a Global Initiative firm run by leftists.

I guess they did not poll Ossoff because he does not live in the district he is running in and thus he is ineligible to vote for himself.

The democrats are extremely divided. The media helps them appear united and even helps keep them on point. I also don’t think I can just except polling numbers as reported much. I wouldn’t be shocked if oseff wins but I don’t expect him to.

7% is kind of the normal skew toward Democrats that NBC gives its pre-election polling.

Since they have such high hopes on this race, it is probably too tempting to resist, to bake in a few extra points of bias.

Ossoff is beyond horrible, the ultimate arrogant elitist liberal. But he may well win. It’s hard to make a case for another GOP member of this ridiculous Congress. It’s hard to imagine any reason at all to vote GOP except when you think about Dems like Pajama Boy Ossoff.

The Democrats seem to have endless oceans of money. It is reaching the point that it would be cheaper if they just paid a large round sum to each voter to support the Rat candidate ... but that would be illegal.
