New Poll: Dead heat in Georgia HRC vs. Trump

The poll shows early voters are essentially split between the two candidates with Trump earning 42 percent and Clinton receiving 41 percent.

Strategists tell Channel 2 political reporter Lori Geary that they aren't surprised.

"I think Hillary Clinton has a chance to win Georgia if she is willing to invest here and put people in the state," Democratic strategist Billy Linville said.

Clinton is getting more independent voters than Trump but almost 40 percent remain undecided. She also leads among women by 5 percent. Trump leads men by 6 percent but he has a double digit lead among voters over age 65.

HRC is ahead among African-Americans 73-9 (that will go higher) and Trump is ahead with white voters 61-25.

Told my HRC-voting daughter I'd sit this one out unless it looked like Georgia might tip. I'm not happy with the way it's turned out, but have to go with ABT. So -- HRC has my reluctant vote. Sigh.

Please, no flames. I'm doing what I have to do, what you want me to do.

We've been told on DU - time and time again- that independent voters will NOT back Hillary!
