A new poll out today places Georgia in the Obama column for the first time.
Obama 48, McCain 47
What is most interesting is that the poll suggests that Obama has more room for upward movement than McCain:
While this is a tight race, the problem for McCain is that all but 3 percent of whites have made their decision and approximately 8 percent of black voters have continued to say they are undecided or voting ‘other.’ This will likely move closer to 95 percent for Obama when all said and done. Obama has room to go up.
The outcome of this race may not be clear until late in the night or the next day:
If the race were to remain the way it is today, you won’t see these numbers come to fruition until very late in the night of Nov. 4 or perhaps the next day. The early numbers will likely show McCain ahead, as the counties where Obama is doing best are some of the largest counties and will be the slowest to report.
What do those of you on the ground in Georgia think about this Obama surge?
