The swing state, Georgia, has maintained its “southern conservative” status throughout the entirety of this election. Even after the three Presidential debates aired, Georgia is still polling in the red. In an analysis of all the major polls in Georgia, Real Clear Politics shows Trump leading by a 2.8 point margin. Although these polling numbers are closer to the middle ground than in past elections, the Republican Party seems to have a solid foothold in Georgia.
The highly consulted website FiveThrityEight has had Trump winning the state with as much as 80 percent certainty. These numbers are holding steady as he is now favored to win the state 3 to 1 or with 75 percent in his favor. Solidifying these sixteen electoral college votes will help Donald Trump in his quest for the presidency, but it may be a little too late with November 8th quickly approaching. Although the climate of the state of Georgia has not changed throughout the course of this election, the climate of the nation certainly has.
