Evidence that Hillary Clinton could potentially carry the historically red state of Georgia this fall mounted Monday, when a second poll of the state showed her leading Republican nominee Donald Trump. The latest poll, by JMC Analytics, put Clinton 7 points ahead of Trump, pulling 44 percent support to his 37 percent. Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson claimed 7 percent. Clinton also enjoys a massive lead with African-American respondents, 84 percent to 6 percent, while Trump is ahead with white respondents, 52 percent to 25 percent.
This is the second time in less than a week a poll found Georgia — a state where a Democratic presidential candidate hasn't won since 1992 — favoring Clinton over Trump. An Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll out Friday showed Clinton leading by 4 points, 44 percent to 40 percent.
While Clinton's lead in the AJC poll was narrowly within its 4-point margin of error, her lead in the JMC Analytics poll is not. The poll, which surveyed 615 people on Saturday and Sunday, has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
