(Atlanta) — Governor Nathan Deal holds a slight lead over his Democratic challenger, Senator Jason Carter, in a newly released poll jointly conducted by Landmark Communications, Inc. and Rosetta Stone Communications, LLC.

The poll of 575 active Georgia voters was conducted for WSB-TV Channel 2 News in Atlanta on Sunday, March 30. Gov. Deal leads Carter 43-39% with 18% of voters saying they are undecided.

Governor Deal leads among men by 10 points (48-38%), while Carter holds a 3% lead among women (41-38%). 21% of women voters are undecided, while just 14% of men say they are undecided.

“Independent voters support Gov. Deal by a 4 to 3 margin,” said Mark Rountree, president of Landmark Communications. “With Deal at 41%, Carter at 32% among Independent voters, there is still a significant number of Independents who have yet to make up their mind.”

“Governor Deal still enjoys a small lead among all age groups despite a non-stop barrage of bad press,” said John Garst, president of Rosetta Stone Communications. “The Governor trails Senator Jason Carter with female voters. I predict a photo finish in November.”
