Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is in a close contest with Donald Trump among Georgia voters, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll.

The poll, conducted between August 1 and 4, asked 847 voters who they would choose if the 2016 presidential election were being held today and the only candidates were Trump and Clinton.

Clinton: 44 percent;

Trump: 40 percent;

Neither: 8 percent;

Other candidate: 2 percent;

Don't know: 5 percent;

2 voters who took the poll said they would not vote if given the choice of Clinton or Trump.

This result shows a change from May, when an AJC poll put Trump in a 45 percent to 41 percent lead over Clinton.

A second poll question asked who voters would choose if the Libertarian Party and Green Party candidates were added as options:

Clinton: 41 percent;

Trump: 38 percent;

Libertarian Gary Johnson: 11 percent;

Don't know or gave no answer: 5 percent;

Green Party's Jill Stein: 2 percent;

None: 2 percent;

3 voters said they would not vote if those were their options.

Both Trump and Clinton have an unfavorability rating of 58 percent. The majority of voters, however, say they're voting against Clinton, not for Trump, according to the AJC.

In other polls, Trump's campaign appears to be on the decline.
