First-term Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss holds a 53 percent to 46 percent lead over Democratic challenger James Martin), a former state representative, as Georgia voters go to the polls for Tuesday's runoff election, according to a Public Policy Polling survey conducted Nov. 29-30. Only 1 percent is undecided and the margin of error is 2.7 points.

PPP says Chambliss is leading 71 percent to 28 percent among whites meaning that for Martin to offset that with his 88 percent to 11 percent advantage among blacks, black turnout would have to be 34 percent. On election day, with Barack Obama on the ticket, black turnout was 30 percent.

An earlier poll by Research 2000 survey conducted Nov. 23-25 had Chambliss leading 52 percent to 46 percent.
