A new poll of Georgia voters finds Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton nearly tied in a general election matchup.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll shows Trump with a 4-point lead over Clinton, 45 percent to 41 percent, which is within the poll’s 4.26 percentage point margin of error.

The sentiments expressed by independents further contribute to the statistical tie between the two presumptive nominees. Independents in Georgia were evenly split between the two candidates, with 13 percent saying they were undecided or don’t support either candidate.

Mirroring several recent polls, Bernie Sanders polled higher than Clinton in a general election meeting with Trump. Sanders — now a long shot to become the Democratic nominee — bests Trump 47 percent to 42 percent in a hypothetical contest. Sanders also had the highest favorability rating (47 percent), compared with 40 percent for Trump and 31 for Clinton.

4. 'General election polls before and during the primary are predictive of absolutely nothing.'

Ignore hypothetical matchups in primary season – they also measure nothing. General election polls before and during the primary season have a very wide margin of error. That’s especially the case for candidates who aren’t even in the race and therefore haven’t been treated to the onslaught of skeptical media coverage usually associated with being the candidate.

7. We're at the end of primary season, with presumptive nominees in both parties.

Head to head match ups.

And Bernie bests Hillary against Trump.

But, okay, ignore the polls.

8. Gee. That would give me second thoughts about who to support.

Said every Democrat worthy of the name.
