Georgia: Bush 52% Kerry 41%

Sunday, July 11, 2004

In Georgia, the latest Rasmussen Reports survey shows President Bush with 52% of the vote and Senator Kerry with 41%. This 11-point lead is very close to the 12 point margin of victory for Bush in Georgia four years ago.

Last month, our Georgia poll found Bush ahead 51% to 39%. Georgia remains safely in the Bush column for our Electoral College projections.

In Georgia, Bush leads by 13 points among men and 9 points among women. Bush also leads by 13 points among Investors and by 9 points among non-Investors.

Fifty-eight percent (58%) of all Georgia voters Approve of the way President Bush is performing his job. That's up three points from a month ago and well above his national Job Approval rating.

Data for Georgia will be updated again early next month. Our recent state releases included Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.

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 June 1-30, 2004. Each night, 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, Illinois, 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.
