Country. this is the georgia governors race between republican secretary of state, ultra conservative republican brian kemp and the former democratic leader of the state legislature in georgia, stacey abrams. new poll from the atlanta journal constitution, as you see in the headline, it says they are deadlocked. thats not hyperbole. look, quote, the poll, conducted by the university of georgia school of public and international affairs has stacey abrams at 46.9% and brian kemp at 46.7%. that is ...

Groups either in or outside the state who came in. i did see one news report that we, of course, havent verified yet out of madison that suggested there may been a poll watcher who irritated some poll workers. that story didnt seem to point to any sort of broad issue. thats really something were going to have to keep an eye on as these results and information from these precincts and counties starts to trickle in. >> kasie hunt from the chris mcdaniel headquarters in mississippi. its going to be...

Carolina. weve shown those can go blue. georgia might be the next place? >> theres a clear path. i think the president lost north carolina by about two points. could have won that. >> and he won it the first time around? >> didnt invest in georgia and got 45.2%. the previous elections, he got 46.7. his numbers are moving up. georgias becoming increasingly diverse. florida i believe is gone for republicans. i think virginia has gone for them. but i happen to believe that hillary clintons going to...

Franken. i want everyone looking forward to that. my favorite one is in virginia. george allen, the republican, against tim kaine, the democrat. both guys are very, very familiar to voters of virginia. >> bret: put up the rcp average. very tight. kaine with a slight lead. 48.7 to 46.7. >> they are both former governors. george allen was the senator until he was beaten by jim webb in 2006. this is a redemption effort by george allen. he has been through the ringer and got heat the last time for a...

Tied dead even 46.7% each. shane deapril is the editor of "campaigns and elections magazine." has that 3-point lead for mitt romney in ohio in that one poll, if that holds, if its accurate it is absolutely huge, isnt it? >> yeah, there is no doubt, jon. i think given the importance of ohio and its 18 electoral votes for mitt romney any positive polling news out of that state is good news for the romney campaign. i think under scoring that is the fact that ohio presents some challenges that perha...

The votes and mitt romney with 46.7% of the votes. kyle conduct is a little end of analyst. it is the state where you live in virginia. what is virginia leaning towards this time? >> i think it is basically a total tie this time. one thing that is interesting is that in virginia in 2008, obama got 52.9%. nationally he got 52.6. that was the state closest to the national average. you figure that obama will probably do a little bit worse this time if he wins. thats why it could be the key state in...

And, florida. obviously, those three states are critical to the -- any victory, either side. and we think we can win all three of those and win those three states plus ohio and, wisconsin and, missouri, which we won last time and we have over 270 electoral votes and theyve got to basically take something out of the mix and take north carolina, florida, ohio, out of the mix and it is hard to get to 270 but i think, we are well positioned at this point. >> bill: this is a battle ground state and a...

April 27th through the 10th of may. it has obama at 46.7% and also romney at 45.4%. the rasmussen tracking poll is really interesting. it has romney at 50%, obama at 43%. romney up by seven points there. what do you guys read into this? >> the way i see it, the polls are polls, but theyre not the electoral college vote, and if you look at 2008 with obama, in 23 of the 28 states that he ran in, he got more of a percentage of vote in those states than he did in the national vote get. so in looking...

Obama could take georgia with just 25% of the white vote. thats a stunning number. nevada with 35%, florida with just under 40% and arizona with 46.7% of the white vote president obama would carry. so the ad he released today was dull, lacked some energy, but did most of his talking with who was on the ad rather than what they said, and it was chock-full of young voters, a young black activist, a latino woman in arizona. they hit the swing states, so they get it. obviously theyll make a concerte...

This is a choice between the policies that got us into this mess in the first place and the policies that are getting us out of this mess. >> when it comes to nevadas economy, obama and reid are a bust. >> geraldo: sometimes i think im the only guy who still likes president obama but it is not that bad if you look at the surveys. according to the real clear politics average of the polls his approval rating stands at an admittedly anemic 46.7% and disapproval is 47.6%. more people disapprove than...
