GA-Sen: Saxby Up by 4 Points

by: James L.

Mon Oct 20, 2008 at 4:09 PM EDT


Democracy Corps (10/16-19, likely voters):

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.

CT-04 Poll
http://www.politico.com/blogs/...

Himes (D) - 44%
Shays (R-Inc.) - 44%


This poll
Didn't include Buckley whose been pulling in 5-6% in many polls.

Yup same as the Ras poll in OR
Which showed Smith tied because they didn't include David Brownlow who has been taking 5-7% in the other polls and given Merkley his narrow lead...

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet
But I see SUSA has started polling senate approval numbers.  They must have just posted September's approvals, even though they are a month old.  

Some key Senator's approval/disapprovals as of September 28:
KY - McConnell - 40/50 (-10)
KS - Roberts - 49/36 (+13)
MN - Coleman - 42/55 (-13)
OR - Smith - 35/57 (-22!)

Georgia President
Ralph Nader isn't on the ballot here in Georgia.  While he will be an official write-in candidate, I don't see 2% of the Georgia electorate writing him in.

But Bob Barr will be, right?
I assume he should be because that's his home state.

party: Democratic, ideology: moderate, district: CT-01

[ Parent ]
Yes, Barr is on the ballot


[ Parent ]
Yes
The only candidates on the ballot for President here in Georgia are Obama, McCain, and Barr.  McKinney, Nader, Baldwin, etc. aren't there.
