ATLANTA - A new poll conducted for FOX 5 shows Georgia has become a battleground state in the race for President, with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton tied.
The FOX 5 poll conducted by Opinion Savvy shows Democrat Clinton and Republican Trump tied at 43 percent.

The dems in every state pretty well have the cities. We have to overwhelm with the burbs and rural areas. It is doable
Is it true that half -- or more -- of the state's population is in Metro Atlanta? Strong showings in rural North and South Georgia won't count for as much if suburban voters are disenchanted with Trump.
Stay-at-home Whites could combine with heavily Democrat Black and Latino voters to make a GOP win a lot harder to pull off, even if the state doesn't swing all the way to Hillary.
With all deference and due respect, really? There are data suggesting Connecticut is in play, New York is in play, and also data showing Trump making inroads with groups that are democrat givens. I'm a pragmatist, and at this point in time I have to say that Trump looks like he's going to destroy the Clintons, destroy the political hierarchy, destroy the work of at least 5 decades of international leftist planning, and totally realign the American electorate. This is not an overstatement.
New York is a closed primary state and there are many more registered Democrats than registered Republicans. If Democrats come out to vote for Hillary as they have for other, per-Obama candidates, then the numbers in New York just don’t work for Trump.
We have to tell you what is says, since we all know Georgians can’t read.
There is a sizeable minority of conservatives in regions of the north, and many take the opportunity to escape to less liberal climes. There are lefties going south, I grant you, but not every Yankee is one, and hopefully the lefttard ones are getting diffused sufficiently to dull the affect.
So far, I’ve only seen Trump signs in Maryland, but I’m on the Eastern Shorw.
Considering what your tax structure looks like and the Kennedy legacy in your state I suggest you are on thinner ice
Truth.
I live in the people’s republic of Decatur.
Zero Hill signs - whispers from folk voting for Trump.
Even NeverTrump Erick Erickson said the polls were bogus.
The media in any state wishes their state was a swing state to feel relevant.
Every State office is held by a Republican. Ain’t going to happen. And not every hispanic is a Democrat.
I think the idea may be to address some black constituents....
“Before making a blanket statement like that tell us what percentage of the state’s population have names that end in “z”.”
Same percentage as two years ago when we elected our Republican governor by a wide margin over a gun grabber. Hillary is a gun grabber. She can forget Arizona.
Georgia is nearly 10% Hispanic. This is not the Old South any longer. I spent some time in South Carolina last week and was shocked at all the obvious wetbacks crawling around the rural parts of that state.
An anonymous staffer with the DNC issued this statement today after reading this poll and other DNC paid posters predicting the end of Trump and victory for the glassy eyed stumbling one.
“We have looked at our long time paid posters’s data and have determined the race is already over.”
Hillary Clinton has an insurmountable lead and will win the Presidency in landslide fashion”!
“We therefore see no reason to continue campaigning, giving Hillary a lot of time to rest and prepare for her 2 terms as President of the United States. Her relentless campaigning up until now has proved fruitful. Let Trump have his rallies with thousands of people. We don’t care. We will win. Trump is the Republican version of Bernie Sanders. He can have his thousands. It’s a lost cause”!
“We also urge Donald Trump to release his complete medical records for scrutiny. Hillary has been extremely transparent on this issue and we call for Mr. Trump to return the favor”!

You forgot the obvious - everyone will ignore the polls as “biased.” It is amazing that places like GA and NC are battleground states - not good signs for Trump.
“If Georgia really is in play, then Trump has lost.”
Many of the so called pollsters have been Democrat Operatives for decades going back to when they predicted Carter would beat Reagan.
Pollsters today are like the buggy whip makers in the early 1900’s, facing economic devastation because they can’t poll many people. They are in a losing battle with social media and cell phones.
Now, they are trying to compete with cell phones, social media and the problem of less landline phones.
More and more people on both ends of the age spectrum do not have landline phones. They only have cell phones.
Does anyone with a cell phone ever answer any unknown numbers and specifically any 800 #’s?
Probably not.
We use no more robocalls on our two land lines. Zero pollsters have gotten through since we started using no more robocalls, 2 plus years ago.
None of our voting age relatives have received a call from any pollster this election. That is 20+ Trump voters.
Then, there is this on social media versus polls:
Social Media Patterns Show Trump Is Looking at a Landslide Victory

Current polls show the race for President is much tighter than it really is. Ann Coulter warned us years ago in her bestseller Slander that Democrats and the liberal media always use polls to manipulate and discourage conservatives from voting. Thanks to social media there is more and more evidence that the polls are way off and if things stay as they are, Trump will win in a landslide!
It’s evident that, Hillary has a hard time filling a Union Hall or high school gym while Trump regularly turns people away from his stadium and arena venues.
