Georgia a toss-up, says poll, ex-pol

InsiderAdvantage, the polling firm/political newsletter run by former GOP legislator Matt Towery, says both the presidential race and the U.S. Senate race have narrowed to become virtual toss-ups in Georgia. Here's the results of a poll his firm took Thursday of 615 likely voters:

Presidential

Obama, 48 percent

McCain, 47 percent

Other, 2 percent

Undecided, 3 percent

U.S. Senate

Chambliss, 44 percent

Martin, 42 percent

Buckley, 2 percent

Undecided, 12 percent

The margin of error is 3.8 percent, meaning both races are coin flips. Towery, however, seems to give both Obama and Martin the edge:

The senate race appears in my judgment either headed for a runoff or a Martin win, and here’s why I say that: over 15 percent of blacks say they still are undecided.
