Today's edition of GPB's "Political Rewind" was for all the nerds out there. Not one, but two polls of the Sixth District race.

An AJC poll released today gives Democrat Jon Ossoff a 51-44 percent lead over Republican Karen Handel. A WSB-TV poll conducted by Landmark Communications gives Ossoff a significantly smaller, within-the-margin-of-error lead over Handel, 49.6 to 47.1 percent.

And then there was that U.S. Senate hearing that absolutely no one is talking about.

If you missed it live, click here to listen to it now:

Today’s panelists: Host Bill Nigut; yours truly; Mark Rountree of Landmark Communications; GOP activist Julianne Thompson; and state Sen. Nan Orrock, D-Atlanta.
