In a stunning upset for the Biden administration, a recent poll conducted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has revealed that former President Donald Trump has surged ahead of President Joe Biden in the state of Georgia. The poll, which quizzed 1,007 registered Georgia voters from January 3-11, 2024, has sent shockwaves through the Democratic Party.
The survey showed Trump leading Biden by a significant eight percentage points, with 45 percent of respondents expressing support for the former president, compared to only 37 percent for Biden. Additionally, independent voters in Georgia are overwhelmingly in favor of Trump, with a whopping 54 percent backing him, compared to just 37 percent for Biden. This is not just a victory for Trump, but a clear sign of the dissatisfaction among Georgia’s voters with the current administration.

Furthermore, the poll found that even black voters, traditionally a stronghold for the Democratic Party, are divided over Biden’s job performance. A staggering 62 percent of registered voters disapproved of Biden’s job performance overall, signaling a growing discontent with the current administration’s policies and leadership.
This is not the only poll to deliver bad news for Biden. A prior survey conducted by Daily Mail -J.L. Partners in December also showed Trump outperforming Biden, with 39 percent support compared to Biden’s 36 percent in Georgia. A Redfield & Wilton Strategies survey released in early January also reflected similar results, with Trump leading Biden 42 percent to 34 percent in Georgia. These poll results reveal a troubling trend for the Biden camp and a potential turning of the tide in favor of Trump in crucial swing states like Georgia.
The implications of these polls are significant, not only for the 2024 presidential election but for the future of the Democratic Party. With Trump’s resurgence in key swing states, the conservative movement is gaining momentum, while the Biden administration is facing an uphill battle to maintain support and hold onto power. These poll results are a wake-up call for the Democrats, and they highlight the challenges they will need to overcome if they hope to secure victory in the upcoming election.
