"Jason Carter, a Democratic state senator from Atlanta and grandson of Georgia’s only president, is slightly ahead of Deal, 41 percent to 38 percent.

However, the margin of error is 4 percent, leaving the two candidates effectively tied.

The online survey of 486 voters was conducted Sunday and Monday by InsiderAdvantage with OpinionSavvy on behalf of Morris News and WAGA-TV in Atlanta. It showed 21 percent remain undecided.

Fifty-nine percent of independents favor Carter, and more than one-fourth of Republicans haven’t made up their minds. That could be because Deal must overcome two challengers from his own party in the May 20 primary before facing Carter and Libertarian Andrew Hunt in the November general election."

InsiderAdvantage is a terrible pollster. I'm not sure I've ever seen a poll from them that was accurate in retrospect.

However, this poll seems - on the surface - like one of their less ridiculous ones. I don't buy that Carter's ahead by 3, though.

Do they also have a history of exaggerating Democrat margins, out of curiosity?
