In February, the Cook Political Report rated the race as a “likely” win for Perdue.

An internal poll from Ossoff’s camp, conducted by Garin Hart Yang Research Group on Oct. 11-14 and shared with The Daily Beast, found that in a head-to-head race, Ossoff met the 50 percent threshold to avoid a runoff, with Perdue at 45 percent trib.al/GuZKgg2
When the poll factored in Libertarian candidate Shane Hazel, Ossoff maintained a five-point lead over Perdue but pulled 48 percent, which is not enough to avoid a runoff trib.al/GuZKgg2

“We fully expect that if the next two weeks go like the last two weeks did then we will see Jon with an outright win next month,” Ossoff’s campaign manager, Ellen Foster, wrote in a memo. trib.al/GuZKgg2
