New Poll indicates that HRC has taken a 7-point lead in GEORGIA

For the last two Presidential elections, Georgia has been competitive for a Deep South state, as robust population growth has introduced both geographic and ethnic variety into its electorate, particularly in the counties in and around Atlanta. This poll was recently conducted by JMC Analytics and Polling to gauge voter attitudes about both the Presidential and the U.S. Senate race.

Polls conducted since the Democratic convention have showed some movement towards Hillary Clinton, and this poll has shown similar movement: Clinton has a seven point (44-37%) lead over Trump, while 7% favor Libertarian Gary Johnson, 1% favor Green Jill Stein, and 10% are undecided. While robust black support (84-6% over Trump) helps Clinton, she’s also pulling 25% of the white vote, while Johnson gets another 10%, and Trump can only get 52%. From a geographic standpoint, only the (nearly all white) counties in the Chattanooga TN and Greenville SC media markets are showing much affinity for Trump. It also helps Clinton that there is a 14-point gender gap: men favor Trump 41-40%, while women favor Clinton 48-35%.
