(14,093 posts)Ojeda is actually leading in general election polling.
The predictors like Sabato and Cook still rate it as likely Republican, as they're only looking at their handicap numbers, based on 2016, and not taking into account individual candidates.
I'm not a big Ojeda fan myself, but many really like the guy and he has a good chance to win.
