"But now we have a Landmark Communications survey, commissioned by Channel 2 Action News, released only four days later, that essentially flips those results. But the survey tracks closely with a previous WSB/Landmark poll from July. Check out the crosstabs here.

In the governor’s race, according to Landmark:

– Carter, 44 percent;

– Deal, 40 percent;

– and Hunt, 4 percent;

In the race for U.S. Senate:

– Nunn, 47 percent;

– Perdue, 40 percent;

– and Swafford, 3 percent.

Margin of error is roughly the same in both surveys – +/- 4.2 and 4 percent, respectively. But there are significant methodological differences between the two polls. The SurveyUSA poll was a combination of automated calls to land lines, and an Internet questionnaire conducted via smart phones or other devices."
