In the weeks leading up to the 2020 elections, most Georgia presidential polls picked Trump to win.  He ended up with a 1 percentage point advantage in the overall polling average.


Meanwhile, some major demographic changes in the Atlanta metro area's two most populous counties:  Gwinnett and Cobb.


Hillary Clinton flipped both counties for the Democrats in 2016, and Biden extended the Democrats' margin of victory in 2020.
