If Democrats want to get to 60 Senate seats, they'll have to be at least competitive in Georgia. A new poll suggests they may just be.

The poll, conducted by Research 2000 for DailyKos, surveyed 600 likely voters between 9/29-10/1 for a margin of error of +/- 4%. Senator Saxby Chambliss and ex-state Rep. Jim Martin were tested.

General Election Matchup
(All / Dem / GOP / Ind / Men / Wom)
Chambliss....45 / 13 / 77 / 42 / 48 / 42
Martin.......44 / 78 / 11 / 46 / 41 / 47

The race hasn't been close in earlier polls, but Georgia may be feeling the effects of the recent economic downturn. September's market turmoil could give Martin at least a chance to scare Chambliss.
