Barack Obama’s campaign is moving staffers out of Georgia and into more competitive states, according to WGCL in Atlanta.

Obama has had about 75 staffers in the state, which last voted for the Democratic nominee in 1992. Some staffers will be moving to North Carolina and other swing states, the CBS affiliate reports. The campaign stopped running television ads in the state three weeks ago.

John McCain led Obama 53 percent to 44 percent in the latest poll of the state, conducted by Rasmussen.
