Monmouth U Poll: Georgia continues to be a toss-up
Among Georgia voters likely to participate in November's presidential election, 45% support Trump and 42% back Hillary Clinton. Another 8% intend to vote for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 5% are undecided.
Clinton actually holds a 55% to 35% lead over Trump in the greater Atlanta area - the six congressional districts surrounding Georgia's capital city - while Trump leads 51% to 33% in the rest of the state. The Democrat's advantage around Atlanta is due almost entirely to the larger share of black voters who live in that region.
Clinton has a commanding 88% to 4% lead over Trump among black voters statewide. Trump holds a strong 66% to 20% advantage, though, among white voters across Georgia. This margin is similar among both white men (67% to 20%) and white women (65% to 21%). Trump has an even larger lead among white voters without a college degree (78% to 10%) than he does among white college graduates (54% to 31%).
Among white voters age 50 and older, 68% support Trump, 23% support Clinton, and 6% support Johnson. Among white voters under 50 years old, 63% support Trump, 16% support Clinton, and 16% support Johnson
The Monmouth University Poll was conducted by telephone from September 15 to 18, 2016 with 401 Georgia residents likely to vote in the November election. This sample has a margin of error of + 4.9 percent. The poll was conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in West Long Branch, NJ.
