Poll: Clinton, Trump deadlocked in Georgia

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are virtually tied in deep-red Georgia less than a month from Election Day, according to a poll released Friday.

Trump leads Clinton 44 percent to 42 percent, within the margin of error, in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution survey.

{mosads}Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson scores 9 percent with the Peach State’s likely voters, while 4 percent remain undecided.

Friday’s results show a tightening race between Clinton and Trump for Georgia’s 16 electoral voters ahead of Nov. 8.

The August edition of the same poll found Clinton leading Trump by 4 points in the state, which hasn’t gone for a Democratic presidential nominee since Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, won it 1992.

A JMC Analytics survey released the same month, meanwhile, had the Democratic presidential nominee 7 points ahead.

Clinton’s campaign is pushing hard in reliably red states amid controversy over Trump’s past treatment of women.

More than half a dozen women have accused the Republican presidential nominee of kissing or groping them without consent in the past.

Trump fiercely denies the allegations, but backlash has helped Clinton build a solid lead over him in most national and state polls.

Clinton leads Trump by about 6 points nationwide, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average of surveys.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution conducted its latest survey of 839 likely voters in Georgia via interviews from Oct. 17 to 20. It has a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.
