NASHVILLE - Republican Donald Trump leads Democrat Hillary Clinton by 49 percent to 33.4 percent, according to a new survey of Tennessee voters by Morning Consult.
But in Georgia, former Secretary of State Clinton narrow leads the billionaire businessman by 42.8 percent to 41.8 percent, a toss up given the poll's 1.7 percent margin of error.
The poll's Tennessee margin of error was 1.9 percent, Morning Consult says.
Morning Consult says if the presidential election was held now, Clinton would top Trump 320-212 in electorical votes, according its analysis of 57,000 voters. That's only slightly less favorable to Democrats than the 2012 election when President Barack Obama won the Electorial College over Republican Mitt Romney by 332-206.
Tennessee has 11 electoral votes while Georgia has 16.
Still, Morning Consult says, the November presidential contest "is far from over."
For example, right now the contest in Iowa is a dead heat. Eight other states, including Georgia, are within 2 percentage points.
"When those states are removed from the electoral count, Clinton garners 241 electoral votes and Trump receives 190," Morning Consult says. "If Trump wins a few of those states, he could come out on top."
Winning the Electoral College requires 270 of the 538 electoral votes available.
