Georgia: Bush 51% Kerry 39%

Thursday, June 03, 2004

In Georgia, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey finds President George W. Bush leading Senator John F. Kerry 51% to 39%.

This is the first Rasmussen Reports Georgia survey of Election 2004. The 12-point lead for President Bush matches his 12-point margin of victory in this state during Election 2000. While there are some exceptions, most of our state polls this year reflect results similar to those from four years ago.

At this point in time, our national Tracking Poll shows the popular vote is also where it was four years ago--a toss-up. The national poll is updated daily by noon Eastern.

Fifty-five percent (55%) of Georgia voters Approve of the way Bush is performing his job as President.

In Georgia, Bush leads among men and women, young and old. However, Kerry leads among Georgia voters who are not investors.

Data for Georgia will updated again early next month. Rasmussen Reports has also recently released polling data for the states of Illinois, New York, Texas, California and Ohio. Other state polling data will be released each day this week.

Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, has been an independent pollster for more than a decade.

This data has been compiled from a national telephone survey of 15,000 Likely Voters conducted by Rasmussen Reports from May 1-31, 2004. Each night (except Mothers’ Day), 500 interviews with Likely Voters were conducted. National results for the survey during that time frame show that President Bush and Senator Kerry each attracted 45% of the vote. State-by-state samples carry a margin of error that varies from +/- 3 percentage points to +/- 5 percentage points depending upon the state. Data for California, Texas, and New York carries a 3 percentage point margin of error. For Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan, the margin of error is +/- 4 percentage points. For all other states, the margin of error is +/- 5 percentage points. In all cases, the margin of error is expressed with a 95% level of confidence. In some states, oversampling and supplemental interviews were used to obtain an adequate sample size for reporting purposes.
