The results of a new poll in Georgia have upended the Democratic Party’s insistence that reelecting former President Donald Trump would equal “a danger to Democracy.”

In the CBS News/YouGov poll of registered voters in the state, taken between September 20-24, more respondents agreed that a Trump victory would mean making the “U.S. Democracy” stronger compared to a Vice President Kamala Harris win.

In the poll of 1,441 registered Georgia voters — taken after the Trump-Harris presidential debate — respondents were asked, “If Harris wins, do you think her policies would make U.S. democracy…stronger or weaker?” Forty-two percent said stronger while another 45% thought it would make it weaker.

They were also asked, “If Trump wins, do you think his policies in a 2nd term would make U.S. democracy…stronger or weaker?” In response, 45% of voters said that it will make the U.S. stronger compared to 42% who felt it would make the country weaker.

The poll also found “among likely voters, including those leaning toward Harris or Trump,” that “if the 2024 presidential election were being held today between Harris and Trump” 51% would vote for Trump, compared to 49% who said they would pick the VP.

The voters were chosen “according to gender, age, race, and education based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey, and the U.S. Census Current Population Survey, as well as 2020 Presidential vote,” the CBS Poll noted. The definition of “likely voters” was determined “using a regression model that incorporates current, self-reported intentions to vote, along with individual-level and aggregate data about voters, such as demographics and vote history.”

The results of the Georgia poll were similar to other polling this week, specifically that of Gallup, which for the first time in decades found more voters identifying with the Republicans than Democrats, as previously reported.

In an average of Gallup polls taken between July and September, 48% of voters surveyed either identified as Republicans or leaned Republican, while 45% of voters identified as Democrats or leaned Democrat. 46% of voters thought that the GOP was better able to handle the most important problem facing the country, as opposed to 41% who chose the Democrats. Gallup listed the issues that voters thought were most important as the economy and immigration.

50% of voters deemed the GOP better equipped to keep America prosperous, while 46% thought the Democrats would do the job better. A whopping difference came between the 54% of voters who thought the GOP was better able to keep America safe from international threats versus the 40% who chose the Democrats.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called emergency meetings late on Friday night after Israel launched a powerful airstrike targeting Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Iranian-backed terrorist group, at an underground compound Friday afternoon in Beirut.

Khamenei called the meeting of the Supreme National Security Council at his home compound, the first meeting since Israel killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31.

Israeli intelligence agencies said in an initial assessment that they believe that Nasrallah was killed in the strike, but cautioned that confirmation was still needed. It is believed that several other top Hezbollah, as well as potentially officials with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, were also killed in the attack.

The world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism also pushed for an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, a group of 57 Islamic nations, in response to the attack.

The New York Times reported that while Iran responded to the strike by blustering in public statements, privately they were panicking over Hezbollah’s silence following the attack, believing that it was a sign of bad news. Reuters reported that Nasrallah was “unreachable” following the strike, according to sources close to him.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry claimed that the strikes were an “undeniable war crime” even though Hezbollah, at Nasrallah’s direction, has fired thousands of missiles, rockets, and drones in unprovoked attacks over the last year.

“Therefore, without a doubt, the U.S. regime is an accomplice to the Zionist regime and must be held accountable,” the statement claimed. “The continuation of the Zionist regime’s crimes against the people of Palestine and Lebanon clearly shows that the call for a ceasefire by the U.S. and some Western countries is a blatant deception aimed at buying time to allow the Zionist regime to continue its crimes against the people of Palestine and Lebanon.”
