A new Fox News poll finds Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) leading challenger Mike Collins (R) in his re-election campaign, 56% to 43%.

Applegrove: even a Fox News poll LOL!

1. We aren't going to lose GA

and Jon Ossoff is going to make a run at '28.

[Katnip.]

7. Ossoff is impressive

I've been fond of him since I first heard him speak.

He's intelligent, articulate, authentic and a pragmatist.

He would be a fantastic presidential candidate.

[calimary]

8. Hey, we like him in Oregon!

Don’t know what the future holds, but I’m impressed with him so far.

[Polybius]

11. Completely agree!

There's only one seat that we might not hold, and it isn't Georgia.

[Ruby the Liberal]

14. I hope so

He is hands-down my early pick of the names floated so far.

2. You know what would reallly look nice on Ossoff besides winning in November?

Coattails

3. And yesterday's email sounded so desperate.

I'll donate anyway. But not by the June 30 "deadline"

My donations to Senators Osoff and Warnock were a great investment in America.

Favorite joke.

A Jewish man and a Black man walk into a bar in Georgia. The bartender asks:

What'll it be? SENATORS

Let's keep it that way.

Until one wins the presidency.

4. if his crowd would vote for dem governor and other positions that would be great

[oasis]

5. Lovely

[Cha]

6. Steady as you GO, Sen Ossoff! One

of my favorite Senators!

[SunSeeker]

9. Jon is on fire. He really knows how to speak to the moment, tying unaffordability to Trump corruption.

That is our path to victory.

10. I've been wearing out my lucky shirt

I bought it to help him beat that asshole Perdue, and it worked!

12. in the crosstabs

with independents:
Ossoff 68%
Collins 28%

suburban voters:
Ossoff 59%
Collins 41%

Now I see why people want him to run for President.

13. But he's a centerist/Corporate/Establishment do nothin Democrat

who take AIPAC money.

[AZProgressive]

15. I saw MSNow recently moved Georgia from toss-up to lean Democratic

That news was good to hear.

[Ars Longa]

16. Ossoff is likeable and relateable and looks

like a President!! As he runs for a Senate seat.

[returnee]

17. I predict there will major election....

…trump f**kery in that election.

[senseandsensibility]

18. I'm not gonna join in all the "don't take this for granted" warnings

That goes without saying. The point here is that Ossoff is doing something right now, he's smart enough to know how to continue it and how to adjust his message. And since he's so successful, other Dems can learn from it. I hope they do.
