News Rasmussen: Chambliss still leads Martin
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 2:01 PM
The polling agency says its findings echo those of last month's poll.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Peach State finds the incumbent ahead of his challenger 50% to 43% (see crosstabs). That’s similar to results from a month ago.Typically, incumbents who poll below the 50% level of support are considered potentially vulnerable and support for Chambliss is not as solid as he might like. However, he is far from being the most vulnerable GOP senator in this year’s round of elections. Many Republican Senate seats are potentially in play for Democrats including seats in Alaska, New Hampshire, Oregon, New Mexico, Colorado, Mississippi, Minnesota, and Virginia.
Chambliss picks up votes from 91% of Republicans and Martin is backed by 91% of Democrats. Among unaffiliated voters, Chambliss has a modest advantage once again this month.
Rasmussen Markets data suggests that Chambliss has a 90.3 % chance of winning re-election in November.
