Jim Martin (D): 44
Saxby Chambliss (R-inc): 48
Undecided: 7
(MoE: ±4%)

That's what we call "striking distance", folks. While this race will require a huge final push, Chambliss is dangerously below 50% in eight of the last ten polls. Hopefully the DSCC will crank it up and and launch a saturation campaign in the final two weeks, but Martin still needs our help. His name ID is only at 55% according to this poll, meaning he has a lot of room to grow but not much time to do it.

If you've thought about donating to Jim Martin, please do so now -- he could use the boost. Let's get the total number of donors on SSP's Actblue page up to an even 100.

Bonus finding: McCain leads Obama by only 46-44 in Georgia (with another 4% split evenly for Barr and Nader).

UPDATE: In the comments, safi makes a good observation: this poll didn't include Libertarian Allen Buckley, who has taken levels of support in the mid-single digits in other recent polls.
