SurveyUSA: GEORGIA (Romney +8) Romney 52, Obama 44

[TroyD]

Not the most impressive number for Romney in Georgia. Sure, it's 3 points better than the (+5) McCain got in 2008, but it's only half of the (+16) Bush got in 2004.

1. I believe a post like this belongs at the Rethuglican Underground.

Not here.

2. What in the world are you talking about?

5. Come on people. Not every poll showing Obama losing is bad news. n/t

8. True, but there was no context given, which makes it suspect.

In most posts showing President Obama behind Willard, the poster generally gives their reason for posting it along the lines of, "Obama closing in" or "smaller percentage than in (fill in pres. election year)". Or they'd post other polls either discrediting or supporting that poll. This was lacking in the OP's post.

7. Bottomline: Georgia is out of reach for any Progressive Democrat, especially President Obama

due, mostly, to his skin color considering Georgia's racist past. Carter was the one outlier, a conservative Democrat. But then again, it's his state.

To post showing Willard ahead in the polls in Georgia serves no purpose other than to show that another Republican is ahead in Georgia. Hence my "a post like this belongs at the Rethuglican Underground, not here".

I thought that was clear.

3. Maybe in 2016

Just like AZ maybe GA can be in play in 2016.

4. Not a surprise to anyone that lives here.

I predict that it he will do better in 2012 than he did in 2008. Early voting among the African American community is very strong.

6. But is the any change from '08?

Back then we heard how huge the A-A vote was in Georgia. Are there stats anywhere showing a difference?

9. Damn. That's closer than here in IN

Now admittedly IN used to be KKK central, but in more recent times GA has overall being more reliably RW.
