The race to look at from November is the house race. The Republican, Tom Price, won 62 to 38. So they aren't trying to overcome a 1-point difference. It's really a 24 point difference.
I'll need to see some more polling before I believe that Ossoff is really a 7 point favorite.

after thinking more
you are still thinking that college educated whites voted for HRC. It was close, but they voted for Trump. And of course Trump voters are wealthier than HRC voters.
But I hear you. It's not a rural district with people clinging to guns, religion and meth.
