Some points about polls:
1. Polls question only a very small fraction of the population.
2. Pollsters can target a group of people they know will give certain responses.
3. Questions can be structured in such way to elicit specific answers.
4. Pollsters can disregard answers they deem incompatible with their ideology and continue to ask people until they get the desired response.

BTW, note that Fred Thompson, who is not a declared candidate, showed strong.
Most importantely, note that there is no strong front runner....this speaks volumes of the Republican electorate in Georgia which tends to be highly conservative.
There is a vacuum that has yet to be filled.....

This is surprising, as you wouldn’t expect this to be Giuliani Country. I’ll bet he’s polling strongest in the Atlanta suburbs.

17% for McCain? Damn if I know what anyone sees in him anymore. Is there a cause he hasn’t betrayed by now?

Pretty puny lead. The MoE has to be at least 7%.

And polls turned out to be pretty accurate in 2006.
They’re not nearly as inaccurate as people around here claim they are - usually out of wishful thinking.
Now, STRAW polls are universally completely worthless.
To: Clintonfatigued
23% ? I wouldn’t be confident with that number at all. A paltry swing of only 6% and the undeclared Fred moves to first place.

It sounds like Jimmy Carter voted multiple times.
If Rudy is the R candidate I will vote 3rd party. Much better candidates out there.

I’m glad Saxby has a sizable lead. Still, I hope he takes his re-election seriously. Moveon.org would target him just to avenge Max Cleland’s defeat.

More evidence that even Georgia is turning into an area with urban/suburban sensihilities as Atlanta and Savannah grow by leaps and bounds. Both cities are bring invaded by northern transplants, and they will affect the Republican primary. North and South Carolina are going through similar transitions, especially North Carolina.
I don't think Rudy can win here, but he can easily finish a strong third. That's all he needs out of the south, as he will run the table in the far west and noertheast. When you look at the electoral map and the timing of the primaries, it is hard to come up with a scenario whereby Giuliani loses.

Well there are real conservative candidates if they can get the media. The media wants Rudy and it isn’t hard to guess why.
I am with you. Its time to come down to earth I didn’t vote R in the past to move to the left.
Time will tell, keep the faith!

Another poll where Duncan Hunter doesn’t even get listed. When is he going to do something to get his numbers above an asterik?
