Hillary crushing Georgia 73% among likely Democratic primary voters.

[Historic NY]

In the much smaller Democratic field, the 11Alive News poll shows Hillary Clinton with a crushing lead, with 73 percent support among likely Democratic primary voters. Bernie Sanders follows with 16 percent support, then Martin O'Malley with 4 percent. Those results lead SurveyUSA pollsters to conclude "Sanders is not today competitive in Georgia".

"If you're at 73 percent with a year to go in the campaign, you're feeling really good about Georgia," Democrat strategist Tharon Johnson told 11Alive's Jennifer Leslie. Johnson says Clinton's camp will need Georgia--for votes and money--if Sanders has a strong showing in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"They've got to prepare themselves for a big showdown on Super Tuesday, and Georgia is going to be very prevalent on that day," he said.

1. Kick & rec!

Go Hillary!!

[Bubzer]

28. Good for hillary... but the word "crushing" needs to be evicted from this election season IMO.

[BlueCaliDem]

2. Not surprising. Not many hear the difference between "Democratic Socialist" and "Socialist"

and I sincerely doubt Georgians will cast their vote for a Socialist, even though the media has successfully dropped that truth as they promote Bernie Sanders as a "Senator running for the Democratic ticket".

[workinclasszero]

3. 73% among likely Democratic primary voters

Do you know by chance if the Georgia primary is on Super Tuesday?

[MineralMan]

6. Yes. GA is a Super Tuesday state.

See my post below. It sends more delegates to the convention than Iowa and New Hampshire combined.

[workinclasszero]

7. Awesome!!!

I have no doubt about the amount of delegates vs Iowa and NH.

[BlueCaliDem]

9. Yes! Georgia holds their primary elections on March 1, 2016. Link to the 2016 primary schedule:

[VanillaRhapsody]

35. Well there are many right here on DU that don't know the difference

between Socialist Democrat and Democratic Socialist!

[BlueCaliDem]

46. Thanks to you, I no longer belong in that group, VanillaRhapsody.

Thanks so much for your informative and fact-based post - which I've bookmarked, by the way. It opened my eyes, I tell ya! I couldn't stop talking it about it with group of young voters who are now telling their friends!

[VanillaRhapsody]

51. Very good!

I am glad to be of service!

[JaneyVee]

4. K AND R!

[MineralMan]

5. Georgia Is a Super Tuesday Primary State

It sends 112 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. NH and IA combined send just 84 delegates. Even though it's unlikely that Georgia will go with Democrats in the General Election, its primary elections are important in choosing a nominee for Democrats.

10. Thanks, MM! Bookmarked for future referencing on delegates. eom

[riversedge]

14. very useful site MM. I had it bookmarded from you before

but had forgotten it. Thanks

[Hortensis]

8. How about 2016, though? We MIGHT take Georgia!

Obama lost by only 5% in 2008 and just under 8% in 2012. Nobody thinks it's likely before 2020 at earliest, but we are in the middle of change here as well as nationally.

[riversedge]

15. slow but sure. Wishing for 2016 big changes for GA

[Hortensis]

24. Yes, and if we don't take GA THIS time,

maybe we can at least scare the bejesus out of them! Or, on a more kindly note, start getting the folk around here prepared for change...

[Dawgs]

16. I'm from Georgia and the idea of Hillary winning here is hilarious and ridiculous.

She will lose by a lot more than 8%.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

[NonMetro]

30. Exactly!

Pretty much the same for other Southern states, too. The only ones probably in play would be Florida and possibly Virginia?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. FL and VA will not be in play either. No heterogeneous state will be.

FL and VA will not be in play either:

[Hortensis]

25. Normally I'd just agree, but this election is weird...

People in general are restless and dissatisfied. Some are downright angry. If we were all pulling the same direction the planet'd tip over. But what about just most of us?

Well, what's that song, again? "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes?" LOL.

We'll see.

[LonePirate]

40. I beg to differ. I think she is closer than Obama was in 2008.

GA is heading blue. It may not happen in 2016; but 2020 and especially 2024 are certainly in play.

[Dawgs]

43. Obama was able to get close because of the AA vote.

Not because Georgia is "heading" blue. It might be in another 20 to 30 years, but not anytime soon. No way it's as close as many on the left want to think.

[riversedge]

17. uck to the headline from OP...

EXCLUSIVE POLL: Georgia wants Trump as president

[Hortensis]

22. Uck! I don't claim those people. I'm from California and Seattle. :)

[Blue_Adept]

54. But they're also American's so they are your people as well.

[Hortensis]

55. yes, but only the parts of them that are great neighbors and friends.

The characteristics that lead someone to like Trump are carefully avoided as much as possible.

[DCBob]

11. Further proof Bernie has little to no appeal in the southern states.

Bernie is toast once past NH.

[workinclasszero]

12. But..but...

Bernie is just like President Obama, hes automatically going to pick up the Obama coalition because....reasons.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. Would you trust this poll more if it was conducted on Facebook?

edit--i will post elsewhere. Thanks for OP

[SoLeftIAmRight]

19. she will do well in red strongholds

just something to consider

[RoccoR5955]

21. So what happens

When a massive amount of "not likely" voters come to the primary, and vote for Bernie?
I cannot believe that all the liberal folks I know in Georgia who are Bernie supporters are the only ones.
Surely this poll is doctored, as are all of them.

[VanillaRhapsody]

36. WTF makes you think that is going to happen?

and psssssstttt.....most supporting HRC...are Liberals just like she...

[1StrongBlackMan]

41. Really? ...

When a massive amount of "not likely" voters come to the primary

They are considered "unlikely voters" for a reason ... because they have indicated that they are unlikely to vote.

[RoccoR5955]

45. Not true...

The polling organization has stated that due to demographics, that they are unlikely to vote.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

47. Can you provide a citation?

Thank you in advance.

[RoccoR5955]

48. I have citation here at home

I worked for a polling organization back in the 70s. You want online citation, just look at the methodology of any of these polls. You want to see my personal citation, on paper? Well then you have to arrange a visit with me. These shall not ever be posted online, but you can see them by simply looking at the methodology that polling organizations use. Look at the questions they ask, and how they are carefully crafted. Google is your friend here.

[SoapBox]

23. Wow...there is something wrong with this.

My company is HQ'd in Georgia...wheww, those that I talk to there do NOT like her.

[SunSeeker]

32. Obviously she is "likeable enough" to get 73% of the Dem vote.

The folks you're talking to may be Republicans.

[brooklynite]

34. As (reportedly) said by Pauline Kael: "How did Nixon win; nobody -I- know voted for him..."

[VanillaRhapsody]

37. Yes because your anecdotal evidence is more conclusive than any poll right???/

[RandySF]

26. Kick

[willvotesdem]

27. A year from now she may be at 23%. Two weeks is forever in Presidential politics. eom

[Sanity Claws]

29. Horrible phrasing

She is not crushing Georgia. You might say she is crushing the primary or the polls (still odd phrasing) but she is not crushing Georgia. If anything, Georgia seems to have a crush on her, if she polls at 73%.

I'm not a former English major but I do like precision in speech. Excuse me while I adjust my monocle.

[SunSeeker]

33. K & R

[VanillaRhapsody]

38. K & R

[WI_DEM]

39. If these Southern state polls continue...

with these results Super Tuesday will be a big day for HRC and Trump.

[workinclasszero]

42. Super Tuesday

will be a huge day for Hillary I bet!

[RoccoR5955]

49. Are you willing

to put your money where your mouth is?

[workinclasszero]

52. No because as my user name implies

I'm a working stiff in this great workers paradise we all know and love.

All my money goes to bills and to try and keep my families head above water.

But I will put my ballot in the box for Hillary asap.

[RoccoR5955]

53. Do what you will

I am also a working stiff, but my vote goes to the person who shall win. That would be Bernie.
You should remember that Clinton is a former Goldwater Girl, was on the boards of WallMart and Monsanto. I hope that this supports your working class values. It does not support mine.

[Cha]

44. Good!

[Robbins]

50. You know

back In october/november 2007 she would have sweeped the primarys according to polls then.

It's so funny how some here want to take Clinton winning polls as gospel but ignore those that have trump winning GOP or GE
polls.Primary polls when voting takes 3 or 4 months later can be just as wrong as GE a year from now.

[Cha]

56. Lovely Georgia!
