Donald Trump is the favorite to beat President Joe Biden in Georgia at the 2024 Election ahead of the pair facing off against each other in a presidential televised debate in the key swing state, according to polls.
Trump and Biden will take part in the first live presidential debate of the 2024 campaign on Thursday, June 27, at CNN's studio in Atlanta.
Ahead of the debate, surveys have frequently suggested the former president is the favorite to win the battleground state in November.

Georgia is one of the key swing states whose results could determine which candidate will win the 2024 Election. Biden flipped Georgia from Trump in 2020 by a margin of just over 11,700 votes.
Recent polls also suggest that Trump becoming the first former U.S. president in history to be convicted of a crime is not severely damaging the Republican's latest White House bid.

On Monday, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution/University of Georgia poll of 1,000 likely voters showed that Trump had a five-point lead over Biden (43 percent to 38) heading into the debate.
The poll also showed that 17 percent were now more likely to vote for Trump in November following his falsifying business records conviction, while about a quarter said they were less likely.
More than half (56 percent) said it makes no difference on how they plan on voting in November.
Trump's office has been contacted for comment via email.
An Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey of 1,000 registered voters in Georgia, published on June 20, showed Trump is beating Biden in the state by four points (45 percent to 41).
Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said the data from Georgia and five other swing states shows that "there has been little movement" in terms of support for Trump since his hush money trial conviction on May 30.
In the previous Emerson College Polling survey in April, Trump had a three-point lead over Biden in Georgia (47 percent to 44).
On June 17, a Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll conducted for British newspaper The Telegraph also showed Trump ahead in six key swing states, including a five-point lead in Georgia (44 percent to 39).
Elsewhere, a Quinnipiac University poll of 1,203 registered voters in Georgia released days after Trump was convicted by a New York jury showed that the former president was beating Biden by five points (49 percent to 44).
Half of voters (50 percent) in Georgia said they agreed with the falsifying business records verdict, while 44 percent disagreed.
Nearly a quarter (22 percent) said they are now less likely to vote for Trump post-conviction, while slightly more (23 percent) said it makes them more likely to vote for him in November.
More than half (54 percent) said it doesn't make a difference to their vote.
"In a key state that went for Biden in 2020, half of voters agree with the guilty verdict that made Trump the first president to be convicted of a felony, but Trump still has the advantage in the 2024 race," said Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy.
