GA Senate Runoff Update
Posted by Kyle Trygstad | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
The list of big names swinging through Georgia continues to grow, while a poll released today shows the incumbent senator leading by 6 points.
Former Vice Pres. Al Gore spoke in Atlanta last night on behalf of Democratic challenger Jim Martin, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes. Gore folllows Bill Clinton, who campaigned in the state for Martin last week. President-elect Obama likely won't turn up in Georgia, but he recently cut a radio ad for Martin.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss has brought in some top Republican names as well, with Sen. John McCain and former governors Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney all stumping for the Republican incumbent. Rudy Giuliani is scheduled to show up tomorrow.
Chambliss currently holds a 6-point lead over Martin, according to a PPP poll released today. The survey of 871 likely voters was taken from Nov. 22-23 and has a margin of error of +/- 3.3%. To pull out a victory, Martin is banking on the large number of African American and young voters who turned out on Election Day to return to the polls almost one month later.
