I know it's still really far out. griffi94 May 2016 #1

I think Clinton has excellent chance in Georgia. White Wingers won't vote for her, but others will. Hoyt May 2016 #2

In 2008, McCain won 52.10% to 46.90% Agnosticsherbet May 2016 #3

All it would take is for 4% of voters to vote differently this time. dawg May 2016 #4

Maybe they will after looking at polls like this one. MoonRiver May 2016 #5

In 2012 Romney won 53.30% 45.48%

They have not voted for a Democrat since 1992.

This shows the state is in place, at least at this point in the General.

I can see that happening.

Especially if the Democratic Party decided to actually make an effort in the state.
