A new Strategic Vision poll released today, courtesy of one of my favorite sites Georgia Political and Policy Digest shows that Georgians are moving toward John Edwards as their choice for President. This poll contains lots of interesting tidbits on everything from Bush's approval rating in Georgia (40%) to how voters feel about Sunday alcohol sales and laws relating to teens charged with sex crimes, and is well worth a read.
Here's what the poll concludes about the Democrats running for President:
On the Democratic side, New York Senator Hillary Clinton led with 28%; Illinois Senator Barack Obama 25%; former North Carolina Senator John Edwards received 18%; former General Wesley Clark received 5%; Delaware Senator Joseph Biden received 3%; New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson received 2%; Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd received 1%; Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich 1%; and 17% were undecided.
“Senator Clinton’s lead over both Obama and Edwards has decreased over the past month and is now the smallest since we began polling this question,” said Johnson. “Clinton’s support has been in decline for the past several months, largely due to the Obama frenzy but now we are also seeing detecting movement towards Edwards.”
In Democratic presidential primaries, early leads in polls have seldom predicted victory. As more and more Georgians hear Edwards stand up and advocate for telling voters the truth (what a novel idea), he will gain more and more strength here.

I think polling in Georgia might not be paid as much attention to as some other states on the Democratic side. But the info. might yield some interesting results for the individual candidates. When Edwards comes here for the JJ dinner, I expect to see his numbers climb in this state.
I agree with you. Also, if Georgia's primary is moved up, all the candidates will be spending more time here.

Note that Al Gore was removed from the poll, which accounts for much of Edward's gain.
Thanks Amy. I supported Edwards in 2004, and I'm still favorable towards him. And I adore his sweet and courageous wife Elizabeth.
