“It’s a really close race. Neither side has this in the bag. And that makes the next two weeks even more important.”
Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris speaks at a campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on July 30, 2024.Former President Donald Trump appears to have a slight edge in Georgia over Vice President Kamala Harris in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll of likely voters in the battleground state released two weeks before Election Day.
The poll suggests that Harris may still be struggling to woo Black voters, the bulwark of the Democratic coalition. About three-quarters of Black voters say they’ll vote for her,That doesn’t mean those voters are gravitating toward Trump. One in 5 Black voters are undecided, while only 8% say they will cast their ballot for Trump. It indicates that Harris’ campaign, which has stepped up efforts to bolster her Black support, should be more worried about apathy than losing those voters to the GOP.
“I don’t think people struggled as bad under Trump and the policies she’s bringing to the table might address some of it — but she hasn’t told me enough,” said Hunter Robert Moore, a Bartow County fishing guide. “Yeah, he was arrogant. He ran his mouth. But he got things done. And people respected him a lot more.”
“In 2016, the polls said Hillary Clinton would win by a landslide, and I think that’s because Republicans just weren’t saying they supported Trump,” he said. “I feel like the same thing is happening with Harris. I think there are a lot of Republican women who will go in the voting booth and vote for Harris.”
“To some extent, I’m excited about the election,” said Lowell Register, a retired radio station operator from Macon. “I really feel the country with Donald Trump in office was just much better than the absolute terror we’ve seen in this country since he left office.”
