Find the latest trends and polls on the American election A Republican stronghold for thirty solid years, Georgia is now part of the Swing states, those key states in the American presidential election whose outcome oscillates between the left and the right and which swing the vote. Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will therefore be keen to convince the voters of this state which allows its winner to win no fewer than 16 electors in an attempt to reach the White House. Nationally, the Democratic candidate is currently leading with 48.3% of voting intentions, one point ahead of her Republican competitor, Donald Trump, credited with 47.3% of voting intentions according to 270towin. On the other hand, the trend is quite different in Georgia with less than a month to go before the election. The result of the American presidential election in the state of Georgia appears to be one of the closest of the 7 swing states. And the outcome of the vote in this state is of capital importance: it will allow its winner to win 16 electors, decisive in the race for the White House. For now, Donald Trump enjoys a slight advantage with 49.3% of voting intentions against 47.4% for his Democratic competitor Kamala Harris, according to the compilation by Real Clear Politics, on November 3.

The state has participated in every presidential election except 1864 (due to secession). Until 1960, the state voted Democratic in every election, before switching to the conservative camp in 1964 in response to discontent over the by the Civil Rights Act. In 2020, and after 30 years of Republican voting, Georgia swung to the Democrats by 11,800 votes, or 0.23 points. A vote that, like this year, will be largely determined by the political color of the city of Atlanta. With its suburbs, it represents half of the state's population. The African-American population (30% of the state's population) is now larger in this state, particularly in the suburbs.
