Joe Biden officially beat Donald Trump in Georgia in 2020.

Right now, Trump is leading Biden in the state by eight points according to a new poll.

My how things change.

Politico reports:

Trump held a 45 percent to 37 percent lead over the incumbent Democrat among registered voters, according to the survey.

The poll was conducted by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution and University of Georgia. Politico further noted:

The remaining respondents — nearly 20 percent — said they weren’t sure, wouldn’t vote in the race or planned to cast a ballot for another candidate. The survey did not name potential third party candidates.

The story continued:

Biden narrowly won Georgia in 2020, the first time a Democratic presidential candidate carried the state since 1992... The survey was conducted before Trump notched a landslide victory in the Iowa caucus Monday night.

Trump won by a historic margin in Iowa, securing a majority in the state primary contest. His rivals for the GOP nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, fell far behind with each receiving about 20 percent of the vote.

After his Iowa win, the Trump campaign seems to have picked up even more momentum and this poll shows him beating Biden significantly even before Monday's caucus.

Where the 2024 election ends up is anyone's guess, but Donald Trump is off to a good start.
