Georgia continues to look favorable for Trump | Georgia
SUMMARY: As early voting starts in Georgia, former President Donald Trump is leading Vice President Kamala Harris by 1% in the Project 538 polling average, marking a shift from Harris’ earlier lead. Georgia is a pivotal swing state in the 2024 election, with Trump currently outperforming his 2020 polling. While he is ahead in North Carolina, Georgia, and Arizona, Harris leads by less than 1% in four other key states. Both parties are ramping up campaigning efforts; Trump is visiting Georgia, and Democrats, including Bill Clinton, are mobilizing to secure support. Predictive models give Trump a 63-64% chance of winning Georgia.
