The poll averages I've seen have Hillary up like 12 on Trump. That would probably translate to about a tie, depending on demographics? It might be in play!
Georgia voters are also highly supportive of a progressive economic issue agenda for the next president. More than seven-in-ten voters (72% rate ‘10’ on a scale from 0-10) believe protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits is extremely important for the next president. This crosses all party lines and is an extremely important priority for Democrats
(78%), independents (69%), and Republicans (68%). Georgia voters also want the next president to focus on tough enforcement of equal pay for women (53% rate ‘10’) and closing corporate tax loopholes and making the wealthy, big corporations pay their fair share (48%rate ‘10’).
Georgia voters are also much more likely to vote for a candidate that supports the progressive economic agenda. Fully 75% of voters are more likely, including a near majority (47%) who are much more likely, to support a candidate for president who runs on this set of issues. Support also crosses party lines with a solid majority of Republicans (61%) more likely to support such a candidate and Democrats (93%) and independents (70%) being even more supportive. These issues can also help mobilize voters – fully 81% of African Americans want the next president to protect Social Security and Medicare benefits and 72% want tough enforcement of equal pay for women.
Georgians, can you please remember all of this when you vote for Congress and state officials as well?
I saw this on a post by Nancy LeTourneau over at [WaMo's Political Animal] , but cannot put such a link in and the full article was too interesting to let it be overlooked. I don't know what it will mean by Fall, but is something to be seen now. As usual, GOTV will be the key. And the down ticket races cannot be overlooked. I don't think the GA Democratic Party was expecting anything like the current state of the GOP; they went pretty strong two years ago, but lost. I suspect that WJC is a wildcard in this.
FWIW, I think these guys called me (several times!), but I assumed it was one of the idiotic "polls" our idiotic (Republican) reps do and was having none of it. I feel kinda bad, not because they lost a Dem response, but because I once did stats and worked with survey stats and don't mind the real surveys. A properly-drawn sample can be hugely informative. For more, see <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sampling-Techniques-3rd-William-Cochran/dp/047116240X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460715683&sr=8-1&keywords=cochran+sample+statistics"> [ this ] . I actually prefer the 2nd edition, but it was OP when I was taking the class. Ah, the good old days.

The Georgia voters have [ a lot on their mind. ]

Bravely ran away, away.
