New Georgia poll out from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution...

Boldface added by me:

Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump are locked in a statistical tie in Georgia, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll that laid bare the deep divide over the presidential race.

Trump’s 4-point lead over Clinton — he’s at 45 percent — is within the poll’s margin of error, meaning neither can confidently claim a state that’s voted for the GOP nominee since 1996. Sprinkled throughout are reminders of the challenges both face in capturing Georgia: dim voter enthusiasm, high unfavorability ratings and deep skepticism from voters.

Perhaps the most telling sign of all: Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders polled higher than both in one-on-one matchups, winning a potential contest with Trump 47 percent to 42 percent. Although Clinton seems poised to win her party’s nomination, the AJC poll is among a string of surveys bolstering Sanders’ case that he poses the bigger threat to Trump.

If she's our nominee, we'd better all get used to the phrase "President Trump."

If Clinton is polling 4 points behind Trump in Georgia, that's fantastic. I don't see how you can extrapolate "President Trump" from Trump edging her out in such a red state.

...and other polls all over the country show Bernie stronger against Trump than is HRC. Which was the point.

(And this is a group for Sanders supporters, BTW.)

is being shown to have screwed over national security, basically because "why not".

Deals with foreigners that help oneself, while violating ones oath, has to be right up there as well.

As we are seeing demonstrated, the FBI investigation is real, and it's hard to imagine how its results won't hurt the Clinton campaign among Republicans who are on the fence.
