Georgia has been mentioned as a possible Presidential battle ground state, yet new polling released Tuesday shows the presumptive GOP nominee well ahead of his Democratic challenger.
This is the first Georgia presidential poll since Illinois Senator Barack Obama locked up the nomination earlier this month.It was conducted by Rasmussen, and it shows Obama trailing GOP candidate John McCain by ten percent.
Polls conducted back in February show a similar lead for the Arizona Senator. During the February 5th primary, more Democrats turned out to the polls, leading some strategists to think Georgia could be up for grabs.
Enthusiasm for Obama via fundraising has been strong in Georgia, as he’s far out raised McCain.Yet the poll shows McCain is doing well among seniors and military veterans, two key swing groups in Georgia.
The Presidential election will be held in one hundred forty five days.
