  1. Thanks for the diary and the link to S-USA’s page. They present their information in a clean and easily read way, I give them that.

    So I took some encouragement from the internals.

    The “favorable/unfavorable” figures, with high “neutral” percentages, suggest that Jim Martin is still not well known by the voters, and has a chance to grow his support.

    Democratic challenger Martin runs comparatively strongest in Greater Atlanta, among voters focused on the Economy, and among Moderates.

    So Martin runs better among voters already worried about the economy. That’s a group I guarantee you is growing with every passing day and falling financial giant. This week alone the losses on my 401(k) now far, far exceed my total campaign contributions year to date; but I console myself that I share the pain with others who will now be more likely to repudiate the Repub policies impoverishing us and vote Democratic.

    And not everyone who dislikes Chambliss has come over to Jim Martin yet.

    [Libertarian] 3rd-Party candidate Buckley receives 22% of Independent votes, 11% of the votes of those under age 50, and 24% of those who rarely go to church. Buckley appears to take more votes from Martin than Chambliss. To the extent Buckley’s support collapses closer to Election Day, the contest between Chambliss and Martin could be closer than shown here.

    The momentum is still with Jim Martin, and there’s still time for him to win the seat in Georgia.

     

  2. Any events that might explain such a big shift in opinion?  Or, are we more likely looking at one of the polls being way off?
