Trump holds slight lead over Harris in new Georgia poll
Former President Trump has a slight advantage over Vice President Harris in Georgia, a key battleground state, a new survey found.
The survey, conducted by the Atlanta Journal Constitution (AJC), found Trump leading with 47 percent support in the state. Harris follows closely behind with 43 percent.
With just two weeks left until Election Day, about 8 percent of likely voters in the Peach State said they are still undecided on who they will vote for.
The outlet noted that the race, which was already expected to be close, has not changed much since its September poll. The GOP nominee's support has remained virtually unchanged while the vice president's support dropped a fraction of a percentage point. The percent of undecided voters did not change, AJC noted.
Both campaigns are looking to secure Georgia, one of the key seven swing states. It narrowly went to President Biden in 2020 and helped determine him as the winner of the last presidential election.
With just days left to campaign, the outlet reported that survey results also show that Harris may not have earned enough support from the state’s Black voters. Harris unveiled an economic agenda for Black men and former President Obama encouraged the critical voting bloc to support the vice president earlier this month, but it remains to be seen if the effort has moved the needle.
About three-quarters of Black voters in Georgia say they will vote for Harris, which is far behind the 88 percent that Biden earned in 2020, AJC noted.
Still, the remaining Black voters likely aren’t headed to the polls for Trump, the survey found.
Just 8 percent say they will cast their ballot for the Republican candidate, but one in 5 say they are undecided, signaling Harris should be more worried about Black voters not voting at all than casting a ballot for her GOP rival.
Early voting in Georgia has broken records since it opened last week. More than 1 million votes were cast in the first few days of early voting.
The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's aggregate of polls shows the former president leading Harris by 1.1 points in the state — 48.6 percent to 47.5 percent. The Democratic nominee, however, has a slight advantage nationally — 49 percent to 47.8 percent, the index shows.
The AJC survey, conducted among 1,000 likely Georgia voters from Oct. 7-16, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
