First Read:
“Looking ahead to the June 20 runoff in GA-6, it’s going to be very
competitive. Just compare Ossoff’s percentage (48.1%) with the combined
percentage of the Top 4 GOP candidates (48.2%). Or compare the total
percentage for all Democrats (48.9%), versus the percentage for all 11
Republicans in the field (51%). Still, with Ossoff getting 48% last
night, you might give him the very slight edge heading into the runoff.”
“And so Democrats need a win here; anything less will be a disappointment for them. Also, the race will be a good early test of what is worse — President Trump or House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi? Because Georgians are going to see a lot of TV ads in the next two months tying the nominees to both of these national politicians.”
Harry Enten: “Polls conducted before Tuesday suggested that Handel and Ossoff were running in a near tie in a potential runoff. In an average of five polls conducted since mid-March, Ossoff held a scant 0.4-point lead over Handel. A formula created by my colleague Nate Silver based off previous runoff elections also points to a tight runoff.”
