Via the AJC's Political Insider, Insider Advantage has Obama pulling into the lead...in GEORGIA:
Presidential
Obama, 48 percent
McCain, 47 percent
Other, 2 percent
Undecided, 3 percent
More below the fold:
From pollster Matt Towery:
"Obama is doing better among white voters than Kerry did in 2004 (according to exit polls of that race), carrying some 28 percent of the white vote. He’s carrying around 75 percent both of the Hispanic and ‘other’ vote, which makes up between four and five percent of Georgia’s electorate. He is winning among independents, outside of the margin of error of the poll.
"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.
Hell yah! Gobama! I think this confirms what a lot of us have been seeing and hearing in Georgia.
As for the senate race:
U.S. Senate
Chambliss, 44 percent
Martin, 42 percent
Buckley, 2 percent
Undecided, 12 percent
But the most exciting part? From Towery:
The senate race appears in my judgment either headed for a runoff or a Martin win, and here’s why I say that: over 15 percent of blacks say they still are undecided.
Now I hope that the race does not go to a runoff - I want those Obama coattails to run on down to Martin. Still, making it to a runoff would be pretty exciting. And if you're in Atlanta, why not head to the Martin fundraiser tonight...with Bill Clinton!
