News Poll: Georgia slightly favors McCain, Chambliss... and welcomes Barnes back?
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 1:45 PM
A recent Democracy Corps poll focused on Georgia shows a slight 46-44 margin for John McCain over Barack Obama and a 48-44 margin for U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss over Democratic challenger Jim Martin.
But it was a question about the 2010 Governor's race that caught my eye:
Q.32 I know it's a long way off, but thinking ahead to 2010, if the general election for Governor were held today, and the candidates were: Democrat Roy Barnes and Republican Karen Handel, for whom would you vote -- Democrat Roy Barnes or Republican Karen Handel?Roy Barnes............................................................................ 43
Lean Roy Barnes.................................................................... 5
Karen Handel ....................................................................... 26
Lean Karen Handel ............................................................... 9
(Undecided)........................................................................... 16
Total Roy Barnes............................................................... 49
Total Karen Handel............................................................ 35
This song immediately pops in my head.
Full poll available here. (PDF warning)
(Gracious tip of the beret to Andre Walker at Georgia Politics Unfiltered for passing along the poll.)
