Georgia Senate: Chambliss 45% - Martin 44%

[arcos]

GA-Sen: Holy crap, it *is* tied!

Research 2000 for Daily Kos. 9/29-10/1. Likely voters. MoE 4% (No trend lines)

Chambliss (R) 45
Martin (D) 44

This was a late addition to our polling list, added in response to polls from Rasmussen and particularly SUSA showing a tightening race. In fact, SUSA has shown some late movement:

SurveyUSA. 9/28-29. Likely voters. 3.8% (9/14-16 results)

Chambliss (R) 46 (53)
Martin (D) 44 (36)

That's a 15-point swing in just two weeks, and our Research 2000 poll confirms SUSA's latest numbers. This one is neck and neck, with Chambliss -- the ass who morphed Democratic war hero and triple amputee Max Cleland into Osama Bin Laden -- suddenly falling well-short of the magic 50 percent "safe" mark for an incumbent.

1. 60 seat majority, here we go!

Note this poll has a conservative 27% AA turnout (it was 25% in 2004, I can't believe it's up just 2 points. African Americans make up 29% of the electorate).

:woohoo:

2. Good news, hope the trend continues

I want to see that fucker Chambliss go down. I'm going to be almost as happy to vote for Jim Martin on November 4 as I am to vote for Barack Obama.

4. I wish I could be as happy voting for Hagan in NC

but the happiness will be defined by ridding the Senate of the Pineapples.

5. Ditto. I helped get Martin elected a few months ago.

I will be happy to get him elected again; for the "real thing" this time.

in the previous election

10. I think Obama should head back to Georgia in full force

We may not win, but McSame is running out of $, and it looks like it could well tip this one.
