House Democrat ahead in bitter Georgia rematch: Poll

A House Democrat who unseated a Republican incumbent in 2018 by a single percentage point is ahead with less than 100 days before their rematch.

Rep. Lucy McBath leads former GOP lawmaker Karen Handel in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, 48% to 46%, according to a National Republican Congressional Committee poll by North Star Opinion Research. Another 7% of voters remain undecided, the survey found. The same firm had McBath trailing Handel in March, 47% to 49%.
