Georgia Voters Feel Re-energized, Even as 2020 Looms Large

A perpetually expanding sprawl encircles Atlanta, the capital of Georgia and arguably all of the South. Newcomers from all over have powered its rapid growth, lured by a sense of promise and possibility.

Because of the demographic shifts in these rapidly diversifying suburbs, Georgia recently emerged as a battleground state, after years of *********** dominance. And even though President Biden won the state in 2020, his prospects this year in Georgia were dim.

Then Vice President Kamala Harris stepped up, and the energy shifted. Voters who struggled to feel enthusiastic about Mr. Biden were now excited and optimistic. The new dynamics may serve as the biggest test yet of Georgia’s status as a swing state.

Over several weeks, we spoke to voters scattered across the constellation of suburban counties that make up the footprint of Metro Atlanta, finding a range of opinions as diverse as the area itself.
