It doesn't really matter. Clinton was polling +7% nationally around the time this was taken. People don't understand these things are correlated. Clinton can't lose 9% national and expect to keep or improve her 1% lead in Georgia.

Maybe I'm wrong. It is possible that Clinton could lose Florida, Nevada, Iowa, Ohio, and New Hampshire but somehow win Georgia. Just historically it doesn't work that way.
