Chambliss (R) 46 (53)
Martin (D) 44 (36)

That's a 15-point swing in just two weeks, and our Research 2000 poll confirms SUSA's latest numbers. This one is neck and neck, with Chambliss -- the ass who morphed Democratic war hero and triple amputee Max Cleland into Osama Bin Laden -- suddenly falling well-short of the magic 50 percent "safe" mark for an incumbent.

That means that we can now add the Georgia Senate seat to the ranks of top-tier races, in addition to the 10 existing ones (VA, NM, AK, CO, NH, NC, OR, KY, MN, and MS-B).

Suddenly, the wisdom of a real 50-state strategy becomes obvious yet again: the Obama camp set out to register 500,000 new voters in the state. And while Obama may not win this state this year (he will in 2012), we may pick up a Senate seat because of those efforts.

But don't count out Obama just yet. In the presidential horse race, Obama trails in single digits -- 50 to 43. Georgia may not give Obama his winning margin, but it would be one hell of an exclamation point. And early signs look good for him.

Analysis: �The race in Georgia is back on. But, Sen. Obama has little room for the race to become closer, unless former Rep. Bob Barr starts to concentrate on his home state. The African-American vote has totally collapsed to Obama (96%) a rare occurrence this far out in a Georgia contest. Independents have dropped to 50% for McCain. Male support has dropped to 50% for McCain and 44% for Obama. But, Obama is making little additional progress with white voters (24%) and unless he can improve that percentage, or Barr comes on strong and takes voters away from McCain, Georgia would, at this time, still lean McCain. It is possible the results of the debates could also move the race closer.� Matt Towery

In an election for President of the United States in Georgia today, 09/18/08, seven weeks until votes are counted, Republican John McCain defeats Democrat Barack Obama 57% to 41%, according to a SurveyUSA poll conducted for WXIA-TV in Atlanta, and for Roll Call, the newspaper of Capitol Hill. McCain leads 3:1 among white voters. Obama leads 23:1 among black voters. McCain leads by double digits among both men and women, among those under age 50 and those age 50+, among the less educated and the more educated, among those who earn more than $50K/year, and in all parts of Georgia outside of greater Atlanta. Obama runs comparatively strongest among Moderates, where he is up 5, in greater Atlanta, where he is up by 5, among Pro-Choice voters, where he is up by 14, among lower-income voters, where he and McCain tie, among voters focused on the Economy, where he trails McCain by 3, and among voters who think alternative sources of energy are more important than off-shore drilling, where he leads McCain 2:1.

InsiderAdvantage�s Matt Towery: �This is a huge slide from what had been, in our prior surveys, a relatively close race. The reason is simple�Obama lost serious ground in virtually every demographic.

�At first glance it would seem that Obama is headed for no better than the low 40 percentile level achieved by John Kerry in 2004. But let me warn observers that in both our national tracking and surveys in other states, the biggest change has been a near parity between the two candidates among the youngest of voters.

�Should that group return to Obama and the African-American vote end up where we expect it to be, the race could be closer in November. But as of now Georgia is no longer a �leans McCain� state. As of this survey, Georgia is in the McCain column.�

The poll, to remain consistent with seven total state polls conducted around the nation by the firm Wednesday evening, does not list Bob Barr as a candidate. �Having Bob Barr�s name on the ballot would likely take a net point or two from McCain, but at least at this stage, Barr�s presence is not an essential piece of the electoral pie in Georgia,� Towery said. �If the race tightens, that could change.�
