1. They probably just polled Faux News viewers

2. I Never Had Much Hope For GA

Give me the percentage of whites, African Americans, and Latinos and I will give you a final pop vote prediction.

3. I saw that idiotic thing too, no way Obama is at only 35% in Georgia.

no credibility at all.

11. Maybe they're assuming

a severe suppression of African-American voters in Georgia?

4. Hmm. Romney is +21 in their GEORGIA poll

They showed Romney down in single digits in their previous polls, so that is a big increase, but they don't appear to have a history of inflating his numbers in this state, so it's possible this state is becoming 'redder'.

We'll have to see what other polls say.

6. Well, I have a feeling this poll is very much an outliar...

that probably (if they gave demos) under-polled Georgia's very sizable African-American populatiion. I very much doubt it's accuracy, not because I'm a democrat who questions every bad poll, but because Georgia has a huge AA registration:

Demographic Total Voters Percentage
Black Female 997,989 17.19
Black Male 714,920 12.32

Also, Obama got 47% of the vote and doubt it's suddenly collapsed to 35% especially when Obama is on the upswing everywhere else.

8. Georgia RCP Average

I notice that Insider Advantage had Romney at +12 in May and +9 in July. So it is odd that Romney's support more than doubled in the past 2 months.

9. I don't think anyone would want to have dinner with Romney

"Another question asked Georgia voters who they'd rather have dinner with. Some 41 percent said Romney, while only 5 percent said President Obama. "

10. Long ago I had to travel to Atlanta for tradeshows

and I found the citizens to be the coldest, unfriendliest people in the world. Phony southern hospitality was in abundance, but they were mostly stupid and proud of it (the sales people I worked with on the tradeshow floor. They loved Fox)
