Things looking better for both Obama and Martin in GA
Overall McCain 52 and Obama 44 (previous numbers were M 57 O 41)

"Among men, McCain had led by 18 in the earlier poll, and now only leads by four percentage points -- a 14-point swing toward Obama. Among female voters, however, there is nearly no movement over the earlier polling data.

Among voters younger than Barack Obama -- Obama is 47 years old -- McCain had led by eight percentage points, but now only leads by one point. Voters with household incomes below $50,000 had previously indicated a one point lead for McCain, but now McCain trails by nine points, which translates to a ten point swing toward Obama.

In Metro Atlanta, Obama had led overall by five percentage points. He now leads by 12 points. In northwest Georgia, McCain had led previously by 46 percentage points. That lead has been cut to 31 points. In the southern and eastern portions of the state, McCain had led by 11 points, and that lead has fallen to seven points.

Among the nine percent of Georgia voters surveyed who said they had voted early, Obama leads by 29 points -- among those who have yet to vote, McCain leads by 12 percentage points."

Chambliss vs. Martin is now C 46 to M 44 (had been C 53 M 36)

"Among men, Chambliss had previously led Martin by 22 points, he now trails by two points. Among women surveyed, Chambliss had held a 13 point lead, but he now only leads by six percentage points. When looking at voters age 18-49, Chambliss had led Martin by 15 points, but this week's poll shows the two candidates tied. Among voters with annual household incomes below $50,000, Chambliss had led by seven points. He now trails in that demographic group by 14 points. Among higher income voters, Chambliss' lead was cut from 23 to 12 points.

A small percentage of voters surveyed said they had cast ballots in early voting. Among those respondents, Martin leads by 25 points. Among those who had yet to cast their ballot, Chambliss leads by four percentage points."
