Democrat Hillary Clinton has claimed the lead in Georgia, a state that's voted for the GOP nominee in seven of the last eight presidential elections. A new Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll out Friday showed Clinton with a 4-point lead over Donald Trump, 44 percent to 40 percent, narrowly within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The last Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll taken in May showed Trump with a 45 percent to 41 percent lead over Clinton. However, both candidates' are still equally unpopular, with both boasting a dismal 58 percent unfavorability rating among Georgia voters.
