Poll-itics: It's not over 'til it's over/Chambliss leading edition

By GottaLaff

There is a major caveat, as you'll see in paragraph two:

The final Public Policy Polling survey in Georgia's U.S. Senate runoff finds "overwhelming support from white voters" likely to result in the reelection of Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) over challenger Jim Martin (D), 53% to 46%.

A big caveat: "Polling a special election is hard. You usually don't have a lot of precedent to base turnout projections on, and that makes it difficult to figure out ahead of time what the electorate is going to look like. Polling a special election over a holiday weekend is even harder. People are out of town, at the mall, and generally just harder to reach than usual."

The run off election is tomorrow.
