Hillary Clinton holds a four-point lead over Donald Trump in Georgia, a state that has not voted for a Democratic presidential nominee in nearly a quarter century, according to the results of an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll out Friday.

While Clinton earned 44 percent support, Trump took 40 percent, in the latest survey coming on the heels of a disastrous week for the Republican nominee in which he has also trailed in the battleground states of New Hampshire, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Florida and in multiple national polls conducted after last week's Democratic National Convention.

Clinton and running mate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine drew the support of 51 percent of women, compared with 35 percent for the Republican ticket of Trump and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Six in 10 white voters said they will vote for the Trump-Pence ticket, while just 23 percent said they will vote for Clinton and Kaine.

Georgia last voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in 1992, when Bill Clinton unseated George H.W. Bush.

Trump outperformed Clinton among men, white evangelicals, as well as in the northern part of the state (59 percent to 27 percent) and in the Atlanta exurbs (51 percent to 33 percent). But in the immediate Atlanta area, Clinton led Trump 69 percent to 20 percent, as well as in the state's southeast region (44 percent to 34 percent). Clinton also holds advantages among voters between the ages of 18 to 39 (48 percent to 32 percent) and 40 to 64 (45 percent to 40 percent), while Trump leads by a significant margin among those older than 65 (54 percent to 36 percent).

1. Given how RW Georgia has been lately, this is amazing

I see nothing but Trump stickers around here. I wonder if they will start taking them off.

[YOHABLO]

2. I live in GA and it would be fabulous for once to have my vote actually count

Normally, because of the electoral college BS, voting Dem in GA in a General Election, my vote goes to the Republican anyway.

3. I doubt there's much chance of taking GA.

The voting machines are the reason GA turned so red so suddenly (in 2002) to begin with and they're not likely to suddenly start counting votes accurately.

6. Perhaps, but with the growth of the Asian and Hispanic populations, the more people who vote...

the less likely they're able to steal.

Turnout has to be exceedingly high to make a difference.

4. Come on Georgia!

Get in on the winning wave!

Coincidence? I'd wager not.
