It seems Georgians still have Republican John McCain on their minds, despite trends nationally of voters moving to Democrat Barack Obama.
McCain leads Obama 54 percent to 43 percent, according to a Ramussen Reports poll released today.
Much of the vote breaks down along racial lines. Ramussen pollsters said a “stunning 99 percent” of the black vote falls to Obama in their poll. Among white voters, 70 percent would vote for McCain while 28 percent support Obama.
While McCain was at 54 percent during last month’s Ramussen poll, Obama was up from 43 percent in August by two percentage points.
George W. Bush carried the state with double digits in 2004.
In the Peach State’s U.S. Senate race, incumbent Republican Saxby Chambliss is still holding a lead over Democratic challenger Jim Martin, according to Ramussen’s Senate poll which was also released today.
Those numbers have held steady in the last three monthly polls.
