Strategic Vision poll (Georgia)

http://www.strategicvision.biz/political/georgia_poll_0215.htm

As we've said before, Strategic Vision used to be a Republican-affliated firm, but in the 2004 election appeared as a "Independent" pollster and had fairly good results.

Most importantly, Strategic Vision was started by Georgia Republicans and has a good record in Georgia races.

[Grad Students are the Worst]

I am not sure which is a more distressing fact - that Evan Bayh is pulling 3% or that he is so well-known that a pollster misspelled his name as "Evann."

Cox v Perdue would be a great race to watch
