InsiderAdvantage is utilizing Facebook to ask Georgians about their views on politics. InsiderAdvantage CEO and FOX 5 political analyst Matt Towery says this is the first time Facebook promotional products and advertising have been used to conduct a political poll in Georgia.

Of those polled, 26 percent said it was improving, 19 percent said it's about the same as it was six months ago, and 54 percent said they believe the economy is worse. One percent of those polled were undecided.
