New Poll Finds Close Race in Georgia

Source: Politico

New NBC News-Wall Street Journal polling has Donald Trump running just 1 percentage point ahead of Hillary Clinton among likely voters in Georgia, though he leads her by 5 points in Arizona and 9 points in Texas.

In a four-way race in Arizona, Trump, the Republican nominee, garnered the support of 45 percent of surveyed likely voters, while Clinton, a Democrat, received 40 percent. Nine percent of those surveyed said they support Libertarian Gary Johnson and 3 percent preferred the Green Party’s Jill Stein.

The survey in Arizona, conducted from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points and had a sample of 719. It suggests that Trump is holding onto his lead in the traditionally red state that Clinton is courting aggressively.

The result in Georgia, released on Thursday along with surveys in Arizona and Texas, was closer despite the Clinton campaign having focused much less on flipping the state. Trump led Clinton 45 percent to 44 percent among likely voters surveyed there, while Johnson came in at 8 percent.

===================================

If you are in Georgia and wish to get involved with Get Out the Vote efforts to turn Georgia blue, one starting point would be the Georgia Democrats website:

http://www.georgiademocrat.org

There's information there on volunteering and how to get involved and how to contact people for more information!

Would DU-ers in Georgia be able to provide any additional information on how to get involved locally? Thanks.
