AJC poll: Georgia voters sound off on Nathan Deal's gun, 'religious liberty' vetoes

Georgia voters have weighed in on Gov. Nathan Deal's vetoes of so-called "religious liberty" legislation and a bill that would have allowed guns onto the state's public college campuses, according to an exclusive new poll from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Those two topics — guns and protections for opponents of same-sex marriage — were the most hotly debated in the first half of this election year. And Deal’s subsequent break with Republican leaders in the state Legislature over them has only stoked a fire expected to linger into 2017.
