Two groups in Georgia will make the difference Super Tuesday:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>black voters<span style="color: Red;">*</span>for Democrats and evangelical Christians for Republicans.
Georgia is huge for presidential hopefuls with 193 delegates up for grabs in the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>open primary state, meaning<span style="color: Red;">*</span>voters don't have to claim party affiliation.
For the Dems:<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton is said to have an advantage over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with black voters, but Sanders might have an edge if young black voters hit the polls.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>In Georgia,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>28.6%<span style="color: Red;">*</span>of the 2.59 million people<span style="color: Red;">*</span>who voted in the 2014 general election were black.
And among Republicans, Donald Trump was favored by 36%, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio by 22%<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz by 21%,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>according to<span style="color: Red;">*</span>an average of statewide polls compiled by Real Clear Politics on<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Feb. 26.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>No other GOP candidate had double-digit support.

The 2016 presidential election certainly has its front-runners, but it's still early. See why Super Tuesday is super important for the candidates. VPC
