Description | "If former Governor Roy Barnes is the Democratic nominee, this year's gubernatorial race in Georgia is a toss-up for now.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the state finds that Barnes attracts 42% or 43% of the vote when matched against any of the top Republican hopefuls. The GOP candidates attract support ranging from 42% to 44%.
John Oxendine, Georgia’s fire and insurance commissioner, picks up 44% of the vote while Barnes gets 42% in that match-up. Oxendine holds a wide lead in the 2010 Republican Primary.
If Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel is the Republican on the ballot, it’s Barnes by a point, 43% to 42%. The numbers are the same - 43% to 42% - if Barnes is matched against GOP Congressman Nathan Deal.
If State Attorney General Thurbert Baker wins the Democratic nomination, he trails each of the three Republicans by double digits. Baker is a distant second to Barnes in the Democratic Primary race."
