Is Georgia Becoming A Battleground State?

Hillary Clinton is riding high in the polls. How high? A poll released by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Friday found Clinton leading Trump in Georgia, 41 percent to 38 percent. That follows other Georgia polls published this week also showing a close race in the Peach State. A Democratic presidential nominee hasn’t carried Georgia since 1992. So how big a deal is it that Clinton could win Georgia?

The areas around Atlanta aren’t really southern anymore. There are a ton of transplanted Yankees inside the 285 perimeter.

There are two Georgias: the Atlanta metro, and the rest of Georgia. If Georgia goes for Hillary, we’re building our own wall along the Chattahoochee.

[GnuThere]

Looks like the AJC polled 400 Dims and 300 GOP. Sheesh.

[wardaddy]

No

Romney won by 8 points

Three counties in Atlanta metro dominated by blacks

Dekalb and Fulton and Clayton and the black belt and that’s it

Crazy media bullshit

Geirgia ain’t as Yankee overrun as North Carolina or Virginia

Go to Houston’s on paces ferry in Buckhead and listen how white films still talk

Atlanta is still more southern than Nashville where I live

Thank God

Pollsters today are like the buggy whip makers in the 1900’s, facing economic devastation because they can’t poll many people. They are in a losing battle with social media.

Many of the so called pollsters have been Democrat Operatives for decades going back to when they predicted Carter would beat Reagan.

Now, they are trying to compete with cell phones, social media and the problem of less landline phones.

More and more people on both ends of the age spectrum do not have landline phones. They only have cell phones.

Does anyone with a cell phone ever answer any unknown numbers and specifically any 800 #’s?
Probably not.

We use no more robocalls on our two land lines. Zero pollsters have gotten through since we started using no more robocalls, 2 plus years ago.

None of our voting age relatives have received a call from any pollster this election. That is 20+ Trump voters.

Then, there is this on social media versus polls:

Social Media Patterns Show Trump Is Looking at a Landslide Victory

Current polls show the race for President is much tighter than it really is. Ann Coulter warned us years ago in her bestseller Slander that Democrats and the liberal media always use polls to manipulate and discourage conservatives from voting. Thanks to social media there is more and more evidence that the polls are way off and if things stay as they are, Trump will win in a landslide!

It’s evident that, Hillary has a hard time filling a Union Hall or high school gym while Trump regularly turns people away from his stadium and arena venues.

Phony polls are foreplay in the rigged election.

[Lazamataz]

Even unweighted spread between D’s and R’s, but do they then weight it?

Either way, it’s registered voters, and that always gives a 5 point bump to dems.

Please include a Barf Alert when posting crap like this.

Well, there's an area in northern Colorado and an area northeast of Hotlanta, who go back and forth being the fastest growing areas in the country.

Here we get all the Californicators, and y'all are getting the damn Yankees.

So yeah, I can see this happening to my native State.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I sure hope the Democrat base believes this.

We have voter ID laws in Georgia. I’ve voted at the same precinct for 40 years and the elderly black poll workers always ask for a photo ID. I have to write my birthday on the ballot request form which the poll workers check on my driver’s license. Now my driver’s license is scanned to make sure it’s valid. Very little voter fraud in GA.

CONFIRMED: Pollsters Loading Polls with Democrats to Give Hillary a Lead Over Trump

Donald Trump shattered the previous GOP primary record by 1.4 million votes this year — and that was with 17 candidates in the race!

Hillary Clinton received 1.5 million fewer votes this year than she did in 2008 - when she lost!
Democrats are in a panic. So leave it to the media to jump in and help their candidate. Reuters tweaked their polling methods this week to give Hillary a lead.

Reuters -Ipsos used more than 100 more Democrats in their poll to give Hillary a lead over Donald Trump. Does anyone in their right mind think DEMOCRATS will have more people voting this year than Republicans?

So how do you feel about this poll?

[MinorityRepublican]

This poll is BS.

Well, there's an area in northern Colorado and an area northeast of Hotlanta, who go back and forth being the fastest growing areas in the country.

Democrats have demographic advantages on their side. Not only have Republicans stood by and did nothing as Democrats imported new voters for the past 50 years but Democrats also tend to move from places their policies have ruined to places they haven't yet and then turn those states blue, i.e. Colorado.

So, yes, it's possible that in the near future Georgia will be a battleground state, as will Texas. At that point, it's game over for Republicans on the presidential level.

“538” is Nate Silver’s polling outfit. You know Nate - the guy who announced that his polling showed Trump had only a 5% chance of winning the nomination. Nuff said.

[MinorityRepublican]

Don’t forget Virginia. Due to the growth of DC suburbs, Virginia is now Maryland South.

[Nifster]

No.

The AJC polls had Nunn and Carter winning

They lost by almost six points

[volunbeer]

FWIW - the GOP tries to court black voters without success every Presidential election. However, Trump actually seems to have some traction with them so he may shave a few points. There also appears to be some long overdue anger towards the DNC and dislike of Hillary so they may not enthusiastically vote for her like they did for Obama in 08 and 12.

This is a strange election and it’s very difficult to predict anything right now. Given past elections he is in good shape right now headed into the homestretch.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Never underestimate the level of fraud in Atlanta.

[Carry me back]

The Nwo has been moving blacks into Ga, Va, and FL to get more liberal’s into those states. I believe Trump will win Ga though, hopefully Va, and FL too.
