At this point, if I had to say who would win, it would be Lamb.

Now we must ask ourselves whether this is Saccone blowing it because let's face it: he's an awful candidate, or it's because Lamb is a super strong candidate. I'm leaning towards it being a little bit of both.

It's pretty obvious that Lamb is no Ossoff.

Those last 5 points are proving as tough for Lamb as they were for Ossoff... still it's great to see that Saccone isn't running away with this with Morning Consult-validating numbers.

This is just showing how godawful Morning Consult is. If Trump has a 46% approval rating in the state, his candidate would be running away with this. It's a southwestern CD for crying out loud. The poll clearly shows a lot of this is a backlash against Trump.

There is the difference that GA-06 was an ancestrally Republican district while PA-18 is an ancestrally Democratic one. People here are more used to voting candidates with a D next to their names.

People like Conor Lamb give me so much hope for our party. I really want him to win.

Well...I can actually see Lamb winning by 3 or 4 points. I think Monmouth has been a little off in their recent polling.

The thing is, while I expect Saccone to win I think Ossoff would win in GA-6 if the election were held today.

Frustrated by the DCCC on this no reason they should be sitting this out. And just a fraction of Steyer’s $$ spent on those stupid impeachment ads could make a difference here.

On the flip side the DCCC might be staying out on purpose so The GOP can't nationlize the race ala GA-06

An idea I've seen floated on Twitter is that the DCCC may be waiting to see what the final PA maps look like in a few days.  They might not want to invest a lot in trying to help Lamb win a seat that he'd be likely to lose in November (or on the flip side, might be an easier gain for the Democrats then).

This makes me think internal polling doesn't have the race as close as Monmouth pegged it at. I'm still optimistic, but idk. Trump's approval and the generic ballot in that poll can't exist in the same universe as the generic ballot polling and approval rating trend we're seeing right now. Unless there is an absolutely massive turnout differential.

Smart. He knows he's going to sink Saccone. His disapproval rating shouldn't be 48% in South Western PA.

I expect to see Saccone up 7. Everyone will immediately panic for absolutely no reason.

Considering that this is Atlas, your second sentence seems a tad redundant.

Saccone would be one of the better Republicans in congress, it would be tolerable.

Gina Cerilli would be leading Saccone 4-5 points right now if she was the nominee, shame.
