Rasmussen: McCain Leads By 10 In Georgia

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Democrats, Georgia, McCain, Polls, Republicans

McCain - 51%
Obama - 41%

While Obama has gained 4 on McCain since the last survey, this one looks to be solidly in red column for the general election.

The details…

McCain is also far ahead in terms of voter favorability – with 61% holding a favorable view of him as opposed to 45% who feel that way about Obama.

While McCain’s unfavorables total 37%, over half of Georgia voters (54%) view Obama at least somewhat unfavorably.

George W. Bush won the state twice by double digits. Bill Clinton narrowly carried Georgia in 1992 but lost it to Bob Dole in 1996.

The Republican contender held sizable leads over both of his potential Democratic opponents in the Peach State in last month’s Rasmussen Reports survey. McCain led Obama 53% to 39% and Hillary Clinton by 48% to 37% at that time.

More as it develops…

How does preferring McCain make them biggots? Is anyone who doesn’t vote for Obama a biggot? Or just the ones in the south?

Pretty sad state of affairs. InSane McCain can’t be allowed to steal this election because of ignorant people in Georgia.

Actually, this is good news because Obama is gaining ground. I’m Georgia will most likely stay red, but if he can narrow it to within 5% then Obama’s superior ground game (combined with McCain’s problems motivating evangelicals) could flip the state.

[...] time…a week ago Rasmussen had McCain leading by 10, so while Georgia may seem competitive, it may not be this [...]
