Still very tight in Georgia

A new SurveyUSA poll in Georgia finds David Perdue (R) can't manage to pull away from Michelle Nunn (D) in the race for Senate and leads by just one point, 46% to 45%.

Key finding: "Nunn holds an exceptionally high 87% of the Democratic base. That is the only way she can remain competitive in a contest where, today, independents break nearly 5:3 for her Republican opponent."

In the race for governor, Gov. Nathan Deal (R) leads challenger Jason Carter (D) by just two points, 46% to 44%

look like VA, where they trend blue for statewide offices, but red for the legislature. Admittedly, I don't get that phenomenon.

That would be my worry. In a race that tight if those machines are still in place...not good.

You've been here on DU long enough to remember all the problems in Georgia with those machines. But, no one talks about them, anymore.
