Joe Biden & Lucy McBath up double digits in GA-06, according to private GOP polls

[Podgy the Bear]

Was McBath ever at risk in the first place or is this a significantly larger margin than one would normally expect here? I don't have a good understanding of CD polling.

She has remained popular throughout her term and has run a good race.  It will be a rout over Handel tomorrow.

The concern will be for 2022 after redistricting.

GA-6 was a district that Romney won by 25%, just so folks have a sense of how hard the northern ATL burbs have swung D under Trump. Mirrors my own political evolution too.

Think about it--this was Newt Gingrich's district.

I thought Newt represented a rural district. Is it just the same number?

For many years, he represented west Georgia and almost lost his seat in 1990.  When the GA legislature tried to gerrymander him, he then switched to the North Atlanta suburbs (which was GA-6).  In the mid 1990s, you couldn't find a Democrat representing any office in this area.  Times have changed.
