The poll released Friday shows Clinton at 44 percent and Trump at 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup, within the poll’s margin of error. It is the latest showing a close race between the two candidates in Georgia, a state that has voted for the GOP nominee since 1996.
In a four-way race, Clinton led Trump 41-38, followed by Libertarian Gary Johnson with 11 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein with 2 percent. When including which candidates voters “lean” toward, Clinton led Trump 43-39, and Johnson netted 12 percent....
It's absolutely shocking that GA is in play for the democrats.
An outlier, but not a big one - other recent polling has also at tied, and Trump has been soft there since May.
Well done, Trump primary voters. You've put up a man so atrocious he's going to force a GOP candidate to spend resources (if Trump is capable of doing so) defending Georgia. Georgia is a possible swing state.
Given the rise in the population of people that vote almost singularly Democrat in Atlanta, Macon, Athens, Columbus, Savannah, Brunswick, Albany, Alpharetta, and other large urban areas in Georgia, I'm actually surprised it's taken this long to happen.

That's true. The same type of population growth that has made Virginia light blue and North Carolina purple is happening in Georgia. But it hasn't been fast enough that it should be here already without a candidate like Donald Trump as the nominee.
Sorry for going off on a tangent.
It's incredible how competitive Arizona and Georgia are with Hillary Clinton, a woman with a 60% unfavorability rating, running as a Democrat. It's not just the convention bounce either. Polling has shown them to be consistently close.
Realclearpolitics has Hilliary Clinton at 43 favorable and 53 unfavorable approval ratings
Trump on the other hand is at 34-60
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson holds a 6-point lead over his Democratic opponent, political rookie Jim Barksdale, with less than 14 weeks to go before election day, according to a new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll released Friday.
The poll shows the two-term Republican incumbent with 44 percent of the vote in a head-to-head matchup against Barksdale, who garnered 38 percent. Six percent of respondents selected neither candidate, while 12 percent did not answer or said they did not know who they would choose.
Barksdale has little to no chance. He'd have to clear 50% to avoid a low turnout runoff.
are you saying isakson should not be worried?

I sound like a broken record on this, but wait a couple more weeks and lets see if the polls settle down to some sort of equilibrium. Polls are more meaningful now than a couple months ago, but still leave a lot to be desired.

Business Insider is now suggesting Texas might soon be in play.

Is it?Seems highly unlikely. Texas is a step up from Arizona and Georgia....
This is bad. I don't think people realize how bad it is that Trump is utterly destroying the GOP. It may give third-parties a chance to come in and fill-the-void, but not if Hillary gets in - at least not for a while. This is bad. The winning party gets the White House, but the losing party is punished with diminished influence. This is how one-party regimes take form. This could be really bad.
The odd part is, as despicable and disgusting as Trump is, a Trump victory would for the large part mitigate this - since Trump is so despised his administrative power would be actively opposed and contained by both sides of the aisle. A Clinton victory would enable more corruption, and President Clinton and the Democrats will be milking this for years, decades even. This will only lead to more accumulation of power for the Democrats, and thus, their donors - Wall Street.
