I'm having a hard time imagining that Handel will over shoot her polling considering her historic career of being overhyped and overpolled.

I agree with you here. Except for the run off reverse those numbers. I think and hope Handel will implode. She keeps desperately running for public office. Ossoff would be able to attack her from that angle.

If she wins  do not worry though. I get over my panic attacks quickly.

Ossoff the overall, Handel to win the runoff. Ads, polling, bios, etc goodies here https://ballotpedia.org/Georgia%27s_6th_Congressional_District_special_election,_2017?gclid=CJ6okuLGq9MCFdgJgQod43cNyA#tab=Campaign_ads

Ossoff seems like a douchey Georgetown bro type plus the fact that he is faking national security credentials which as a vet, really is something that ticks me off in candidates.

[The Other Castro]

Actually, new prediction. Go big or go home:

Ossoff 51%
Hill 14%
Handel 13%
Gray 11%
Moody 8%
Other 3%

[Progressive]

Delicious    50% (straddling the 50% mark)
Hill            16%
Handel       16%
Gray          10%
Moody        5%
Other         3%

Outright win by Ossoff but result not declared until next day because win constantly fluctuates between 49.9% and 50.1%

[LabourJersey]

This would be the most painful loss, but I think it will happen:
Ossoff- 49.8%
Hill 14%
Handel 13%
Gray 11%
Moody 10%
Other 2.2%

Runoff:
Hill 50.5%
Ossoff 49.5%

[CapoteMonster]

Ossoff will beat Handel in the runoff.

[Skill and Chance]

There will be a runoff and Handel won't make the runoff.

[Figueira]

I haven't been following the Republican side of this very closely, but here's my prediction:

Primary (final prediction):
Ossoff 44%
Handel 17%
Gray 16%
Moody 14%
Hill 5%
Others 4%

Runoff (not a final prediction):
Handel 53%
Ossoff 47%

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Unfortunately, any of the republicans would smash him in a runoff. Except Bruce Levell, and he won't even be getting one percent of the vote.

You have Bob Gray defeating him by double digits, which I find amusing considering Gray is as bad a fit for this district as Trump is + the fact that Trump is also actively running against Gray.

Gray strikes me as somebody whose stronger irl than he is on paper given his success on social media and fundraising. He could be a less extreme version of Jason Lewis

He is strong on those barometers probably because of his strong support for President Trump.

HANDEL VS. OSSOFF RUNOFF AVERAGE

(n=17)

Handel 50.9%
Ossoff 49.1%

GRAY VS. OSSOFF RUNOFF AVERAGE

(n=3)

Gray 52.7%
Ossoff 47.3%

(Only one prediction each for Hill/Moody runoff, so no average needed there.)

[Tartarus Sauce]

I'm not going to even bother to list exact percentages. My best guess would be Ossoff gets something between 43-46% of the vote, and then heads to a run off with Handel which would basically be a coin toss. I originally thought he would need to be high-40s to be solid for the run-off, but my reasoning on that was dubious. It's still possible Ossoff manages to crack 50% though that is looking much less likely at this point.

[Heisenberg]

My prediction:

Jungle:
Ossoff: 45%
Handel: 16%
Hill: 13%
Gray: 12%
Others: 13%

Runoff:
Handel: 53%
Ossoff: 47%

[Klartext89]

Well, I will post my prediction because my KS-2 prediction would have been damn right.

Jungle:
Ossoff: 43%
Other Dem: 2%
Gray: 20%
Handel: 16%
Hill: 9%
Other GOP: 10%


Runoff:
Gray: 54%
Ossoff: 46%

Ossoff doesn't clear 45% and some Republican other than Handel makes the runoff.

[Suburbia]

Poor Karen Handel. If she loses this House election, her political career may be over. She's like Steve Lonegan and Mark Green (NY). Perennial candidates.

[Classic Conservative]

I have a friend in Virginia, who supported Trump and is gay, and he went down to GA-6 to campaign for Gray. From the pictures he posted, there were a lot of volunteers and high-profile Trump supporters campaigning for him.
