Exclusive poll: Georgia may become battleground state in presidential election

An exclusive poll done for Channel 2 Action News shows Georgia could be a battleground state in the race for the White House.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus has said he's watching Georgia closely to see if it could become a potential battleground state.

The Hillary Clinton campaign has it as a Tier 1 state, just below the true battleground states. New poll numbers show Georgia could be in play.

“If this trend stays as it is or goes more the other way, Georgia is in play,” said Channel 2 Political Analyst Bill Crane.

Crane told Channel 2 political reporter Lori Geary that he hasn't seen a presidential race this close in Georgia in decades.

Out of 500 likely Georgia voters polled by Landmark/Rosetta Stone, the numbers show a tight race.

Donald Trump is winning by only 2 points over Hillary Clinton. Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein tally up 8 percent of the vote together.
