Democrat Lucy McBath, who became politically active after losing her teenage son to gun violence, was in a tight race with Republican Rep. Karen Handel in Georgia’s 6th District, a poll conducted for the Democrat’s campaign found.

Handel led McBath 49 percent to 47 percent in the race for the suburban Atlanta seat. Four percent were undecided. Handel, who won a highly publicized special election last year against Democrat Jon Ossoff, is seeking her first full term this November.

“Lucy is turning personal pain into real change for this country, and we are confident that voters will choose Lucy in November,” McBath campaign spokesman Jake Orvis said.

The poll, conducted for the campaign by Thirty-Ninth Street Strategies, surveyed 600 likely voters from Aug. 22-26. It had a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.

Sixty-seven percent of voters were unable to identify McBath, the survey found. Of those who did, 25 percent viewed her favorably to 8 percent who rated her unfavorably. In contrast, Handel was at 52 percent favorable to 37 percent unfavorable, with 11 percent unable to offer an opinion.
