Isn't Georgia a solid red state, or is it now trending blue?? (God help us)
GA will go Red.
Hillary will get a max of 40% there in November.
Obama got 42% in 2012.
The polling has it in low single digits right now. But Georgia is and remains reliable for the Republicans and should stay that way this cycle.
Remember, Trump did well in Georgia except in the suburban Atlanta counties where Kasich did pretty well. It's an area of strength usually for the GOP. The #nevertrump haters think that this weakness will follow in the general. It will not. Trump will take the state by 8-13 points, as typical for a GOP candidate in a general election.
They said the same thing in the Obama elections, mainly because of the black vote. Didn’t pan out then, either.
Trump’s GA win was not as big as it should be, but I think that was a reflection of the widespread conservative vote diffused among Cruz and Rubes.
Also, total GA GOP vote in 16 was over 300,000 more than in 12. Newt had 52% (vs Trump’s 38%) but Newt was a GA favorite son.
Also, GA was down on the Dem primary side by 250,000 since 08.
