Trump leads Clinton in the traditionally red state by one point in both a three-way race—since Green Party’s Jill Stein is not on the ballot in Georgia—and a two-way race, an NBC News/Wall Street _Journal_/Marist poll has found. The Republican nominee is ahead of Clinton 45% to 44%, with Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson in the mix, and 47% to 46% without Johnson. Georgia last went Democrat in the 1992 election, when Bill Clinton won the state. The NBC/WSJ/Marist poll in Georgia was conducted between Oct. 30 and Nov. 1\. It interviewed 937 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus-minus 3.2 percentage points, and 707 likely voters, with a margin of error of plus-minus 3.7 percentage points. \[[_NBC_](http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/polls-trump-ahead-arizona-texas-deadlocked-georgia-n677626)\] Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton in Dead Heat in Georgia: Poll ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4557386/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia-poll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4557386/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia-poll/"},"headline":"Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in Dead Heat in Georgia: Poll","datePublished":"2016-11-03T21:51:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T07:48:01.759Z","description":"Trump is ahead of Clinton by one point in the red state","url":"https://time.com/4557386/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia-poll/","keywords":["2016 Election","2016 Election"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt074b9dd9ab7beb3d/6988acf4cd1bbaa9fb702f95/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt074b9dd9ab7beb3d/6988acf4cd1bbaa9fb702f95/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-georgia-poll.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"COMBO-US-VOTE-DEBATE","caption":"COMBO-US-VOTE-DEBATE","creditText":"PAUL J.
