While his numbers may be souring in much of the country, John McCain is still strongly ahead of Barack Obama in Georgia, 54% to 45%, in the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state.
In August, McCain led Obama 54% to 43%.
Nationally, Obama has been gaining ground steadily in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll ever since the Wall Street debacle began to dominate the news.
In Georgia, McCain has the support of 92% of Republicans and five percent (5%) of Democrats. Obama is backed by 94% of Democratic voters and seven percent (7%) of Republicans. McCain has a 25-point lead among unaffiliated voters.
