The latest poll from Rasmussen is the fourth straight snapshot that shows John McCain with more than 50 percent of the vote.
From the polling organization:
The race for Georgia’s Electoral College votes is getting closer.The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows that John McCain’s lead over Barack Obama is down to five percentage points, 51% to 46%. In September, McCain led by 11. Earlier in October, that lead had slipped to nine points.
However, while Obama continues to gain ground, this is the fourth straight poll of Georgia voters to find McCain at the 50% level of support or above. In August, McCain led Obama 50% to 43%.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of voters in the state expect McCain to win Georgia on Election Day.
