The exclusive Channel 2 Action News poll conducted by Landmark/Rosetta Stone polled nearly 800 likely Georgia voters. The poll, conducted over the weekend, found Trump and Clinton deadlocked with 45 percent of the vote

not a lot of undecided. 2% of Dems voting for Jill Stein and 11% of AAs voting for Trump. That would seem to be fertile ground for Clinton.

Even if she doesn't end up winning GA, if she can force Trump to spend resources and time there, that takes away from his efforts in PA, FL, OH, etc. THAT's a win right there.

And if she wins? Trump will be a (terrifying) memory.

This would be the worst landslide in U.S. history if she did.
