Incumbent Republican Nathan Deal trails Democratic challenger Jason Carter by seven points in Rasmussen Reports’ first look at the Georgia gubernatorial race.
A new statewide telephone survey of Likely Georgia Voters finds Carter with 48% support to Deal’s 41%. Three percent (3%) like another candidate in the race, while seven percent (7%) are undecided.

That poll is pure BS.rasmussen aint what it used to be since he sold it off.Just watch the election.
Deal is a scumbag...
That being said about Deal, as someone who lives in Georgia I cannot see them Dems doing that well. The number of primary votes for GOP candidates almost doubled those of Dem candidates.
Governor deal won his primary with 71% of the vote.If we here in Ga had a problem with him then his numbers wouldn’t have been that high.This is a pure bullscat poll.
Could be...if I answer as I did before the primary whether its a poll ( I lie ) or if its for money (it’s F/U)
Ignorant @$$holes never learn!!
Obama NEVER took Georgia.
You're right, Obama didn't. However, if memory serves me right, he did come pretty close in 2008. In fact, I remember some election forecasters predicting Georgia would go to Obama over McCain that year.
Blood runs thick down here. What I am finding out, having moved here 3 years ago, is that GA is not all that conservative.
Changing demographic factors no doubt.
That’s what changed my state-—CA-—from being at the heart of Reagan Country to being solid blue.
Even 2008, GA was decided rather early and Dems did not spend much time and money in 2012.
I was listening to Eric Erickson last night and he reported that the numbers were probably close but looking through the details of the rest of the survey, Obama approval was about 50/50.
He is nowhere near that in reality but Carter is still rather popular there.
I think Deal will still win anyway but it will be closer than it really should be.
Remember the year - 1979.
That was the year WW4 started and Carter was the on who allowed it to happen.
Had he a plan for the post Shaw era, the radicals would not be in the position they are today.
That sounds about right. Deal-53%, Carter-45%.
Turnout was extremely low (and even lower among Democrats), and Deal had no credible opposition. So, I don't think Deal’s margin of victory in the Republican primary is any more informative about the outcome of the general election than the Rasmussen poll. In any case, I agree that Deal will win easily in the general. Statewide, Georgia is still very Republican.
It sure is. The Republican South sure didn't last long. (African-Americans + Latinos) X (Fraud) = Democrat Majorities
I had enough of Carter from day one of his term as governor...pardoning draft dodgers.
oops—as President not as Governor.
