1. Wild. With those great GA numbers, I thought he would be up by more in their national poll.

Oh well...

2. Their national numbers look to fall in line with most national polls.

3. poll makes no sense

if obama is only behind by 2 in a state where bush won by 20+ then obama is ahead nationally by more than 5.

4. Clinton won Georgia in 1992 by a slim margin and only won the popular vote nationnally by 6%.

7. yes but,

how big was bush'a margin in 1988? i looked up georgia's 2004 results and it was 58-41 bush. if obama has made up 15% in a hard right state then he is up by more than 5 nationally.

9. what you are not factoring in is that GA is about 35% AA so that would

account for a big slice of the narrowing of the gap

5. Excellent results from Georgia.

6. Being 5 up with two weeks to go is not too shabby!

It seems Obama's national lead decreased a bit from a week ago, but he's holding up in the states that matter.
