The poll \u200bindicates \u2063that Trump is ahead with 47% compared to Harris&#8217;s 43%, with a margin for error of 3.1\u2062 percentage points. Notably, 8% of likely \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/terry-mcauliffe-fundraises-for-self-described-democratic-socialist\/\" title=\"Terry McAuliffe Fundraises For Self-Described Democratic Socialist\">voters remain undecided<\/a>, making the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrat-mary-peltola-republican-sarah-palin-alaska-house-election-outcome-uncertain-in-ranked-choice-vote\/\" title=\"Democrat Mary Peltola, Republican Sarah Palin Alaska House Election Outcome Uncertain In Ranked-Choice Vote\">election outcome uncertain<\/a>. Political scientist Trey Hood highlighted the competitive nature of the race, emphasizing\u200d the importance of \u2064the upcoming weeks.\u2062 Since the previous poll in September, Trump&#8217;s support has remained steady \u200dwhile Harris has seen\u2064 a slight decline. Approximately 75% of Black voters in Georgia favor Harris, although this support is still less than that received by\u2063 President Joe\u2062 Biden in prior \u2064elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris slips 1 point in Georgia as Trump eyes taking back swing-state prize<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1841931\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a> is building out his lead in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/georgia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Georgia<\/a> over Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/election-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Election Day<\/a> just two weeks away.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>According to a newly released <em>Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/trump-has-a-slight-edge-in-georgia-over-harris-latest-ajc-poll-finds\/LVP66TCGKJCF5CEDNUBAYU3EW4\/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&amp;stream=top\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>poll<\/a>, Trump leads 47% to 43% over Harris, figures which are outside the poll&rsquo;s margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Nevertheless, 8% of likely voters from the poll indicated that they are undecided, meaning the race could break for either candidate.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a really close race. Neither side has this in the bag,&rdquo; University of Georgia political scientist Trey Hood, who oversaw the poll, told the outlet. &ldquo;And that makes the next two weeks even more important.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/ajc-poll-finds-kamala-harris-and-donald-trump-are-locked-in-a-tight-race-in-georgia\/C5CQ6742V5AHVIDUVQ77LQ7YMY\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>last <em>AJC <\/em>poll<\/a> in September, Trump&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/harris-slips-1-point-in-georgia-as-trump-eyes-taking-back-swing-state-prize-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Harris slips 1 point in Georgia as Trump eyes taking back swing-state prize - Washington Examiner\">support remains virtually unchanged<\/a>, while Harris&rsquo;s support dropped by 1 point in the state. The number of undecided voters has also hardly changed.<\/p>\n<p>Around three-quarters of black Georgia voters said they will vote for Harris, which is behind President Joe Biden&rsquo;s strong pull with the demographic. In 2020, he received 88% of the black vote in Georgia. This statistic, though, does not mean Trump is pulling their vote, as around 20% of black voters said they are undecided, and just 8% said they will vote for Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Eleven percent of Democrats say they&rsquo;re undecided, but few are backing third-party candidates such as the Green Party&rsquo;s Jill Stein. Trump is winning over all but 5% of Republicans and has won over 80% of conservative voters.<\/p>\n<p>There is also a gender gap here, with Trump leading 59% to 28% among men and Harris leading 55% to 37% among women. Around 11% of men and 6% of women are undecided in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Voters for either candidate are <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">expressing higher levels<\/a> of enthusiasm surrounding voting since Biden excited the race. About 96% of likely voters say they were somewhat or very enthusiastic about their voting for their preferred choice.<\/p>\n<p>Both Trump and Harris are eyeing Georgia in the final weeks of campaign season. In 2020, Biden flipped the state by a little more than 10,000 votes, marking the first time since 1996 that the state awarded its electoral votes to a Democrat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1841931\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1841931\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harris drops 1 point in Georgia as Trump gains ground<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2910,"featured_media":2357881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/trump-harris-tough-interviews.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3728,4977,4021,25081,3634],"class_list":["post-2357879","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-election","tag-georgia","tag-harris","tag-swing-state","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/trump-harris-tough-interviews.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2357879","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2910"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2357879"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2357879\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2357881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2357879"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2357879"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2357879"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
