Jim Martin, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate after defeating Vernon Jones in a run-off primary election earlier this month, is now trailing incumbent Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss by just six percentage points. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Peach State finds the incumbent ahead of his challenger 48% to 43%.
When “leaners” are included, Chambliss leads 50% to 44%.
Though the latest numbers could represent a temporary primary “glow” for Martin, the poll marks the lowest level of support for the incumbent since tracking of this year’s election began.

If Saxby’s IQ was 1 point lower he would be a brickbat !!
His stand on amnesty and now joining up with the gang of 10 has turned a race that was a sure win into something very close or him losing. What an @$$hole.
Please Lord just give me a Jim DeMint.
The scale doesn't go that low!
Things are starting to add up here. I have called his office and been lied to as well. More than a couple of times as a matter of fact.
Ask one his interns a question about a detail in a bill and they have no clue as to what they are talking about and are only reciting what was given to them.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR TAXME SHAMELESS FOR ANY REASON!
Chambliss is no Senator Johnny Isakson, our junior but superior senator.
Plus, Chambliss must not be too smart because he forgot which State he represents in Congress.
My attitude toward Mr. Saxby C. must be similar to the attitudes of the multitudes here who despise Uncle Mac.
But, I see a vote for Martin, a decent fellow, as a vote for Pelosi, and I’ll have no part in enhancing that fools power.
If they had elected Cain over this dufus we wouldnt be in this shape...
Saxby is a perfect illustration of most of what’s wrong with the GOP. He is an unprincipled, uninspiring blowhard with very good connections. If the Democrats were not directed by Satanic lunatics, they would have put today’s GOP out of business a long time ago.
(BTW, unless that really does happen, Saxby will surely get re-elected. The liberal media are portraying Jim Martin as a saintly church elder, but he actually is best known for his spirited defenses of partial-birth abortion.)
That “Gang of 10” traitorous foolishness will kick you in the ass every time.
I’ve heard this fool describing their plan on Rush’s show and Hannity’s show. What a maroon. At least he’s been consistent in his “explanations.”
Chambliss has stood with Bush on the WOT and national security. That's why he's in the Senate. Or do you prefer the good old days when Cleland was keeping a chair warm?
I heard Chambliss on Rush, and I certainly didn't sense him realizing anything. I just heard an arrogant a-hole arguing with Rush and spouting about "bipartisanship" and "getting something done.
Yes, and the fact that he went on Rush means that the heat is on him. That's what you do to Republicans - you keep their fat to the fire. Some will come around, and some won't. Why don't you wait until the Senate vote to see what happens. If Chambliss sides with the RINOs then yes, throw the bum out.
Throw him out and let someone else have a go at it.
There hasn't been a Senate vote yet. Hold your horses man sheesh!
That would entail electing another foot solider for Harry Reid’s burgeoning supermajority.
Seems hard to tell the difference with the current occupant.
Chambliss aka POS, is a classic sigh of what’s wrong with the GOP.
