This is more libtard propaganda!!! Georgia is NOT competitive! Its a red state that has gotten redder since 2006...Don’t believe the hype...
Practically the entire south is in play? I don’t buy it.
Same here in Indiana. NO WAY this state will go Blue again for a long long while.
I think they are talking about at the state level. Southern Democrats and NE Republicans mess the map up a tad.
I did this list the other day. It shows the list of states where the GOP/Dems control both state houses or are tied and the state’s Presidential Election leanings. Some interesting data:

My thoughts on Georgia - my state - also. Gallup is crazy.
Republicans won GA by only a 2% margin. A 2% swing means that GA would be totally democrat. One republican governor in over 130 years and he is a former democrat!
Agreed. Look at the data they are looking at. It is “party affiliation”. For example, in Georgia it is Republicans 43% and demo-rats 41.4%. Let’s do some simple math: those numbers together total 84.4%. So what about the remaining 15.6%? Where do these independents lean? This is where the different occurs, which is not represented in the data provided by Gallop and is what makes a state “out of play” for the demo-rats.
Like you implied, this is “manipulation of stats” to try and make the demo-rats look better than they are. In the end, they are much worse off and are getting worse every day.
Well...I am off to write another check to a Republican congressman.

It is rather amazing how the bulk of traditionally solid republican states are “competitive” on their map.
