Annually, March is designated for college basketball fans, including those eagerly awaiting Georgia sports betting. This year in a political season, however, it shares the stage with the Georgia Primary on Tuesday, March 12.
The Peach State will hold a mixed primary where unaffiliated voters can choose to vote in either primary or voters can switch registration on the day of voting. There are 108 Democrat delegates, along with 59 Republican delegates up for grabs.
Ahead of the Primary, BetGeorgia.com utilized the average results of three current polls for the 2024 Presidential Election to develop the following odds of how Georgia will vote in 2024. The 3 polls were “Franklin & Marshall,” “Bloomberg / Morning Consult” and “Susquehanna Polling.”

Recent Georgia Voting In Presidential Elections
Georgia Leaning Red As Of February
Just a reminder that there is no political betting allowed in any of the 50 states, but Georgia will once again be a hotbed for voters in a key Southern battleground state come November. In 2020, current President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by a mere 0.3% (49.5% to 49.2%). Four years earlier, Trump upended Hillary Clinton by a solid margin, 50.4% to 45.4%.
With our recent compilation of poll data early on in the election process, it appears the state will go back to Republican red as they are the favorite at -105 (51.3%) to Democrat blue +125 (44.4%).
Here are some key voting trends to keep an eye on for the first Tuesday in November:
Between 2000 and 2020, Georgia voted for the winning presidential candidate 66.7% of the time. Since 2000, Georgia has voted Democratic 16.7% of the time and Republican 83.3% of the time.
Just make sure you do your civic duty and vote!
