Take a look at how the 3 Atlanta metro counties that Hillary flipped have changed over the last 4 elections. Gwinnett and Henry show a huge trend that will probably continue to be favorable for Democrats.

Democrat % of vote:

Gwinnett County, GA
2004: 33.44%
2008: 44.35%
2012: 44.56%
2016: 50.20%

Henry County, GA
2004: 32.84%
2008: 45.85%
2012: 47.81%
2016: 50.38%

Cobb County, GA
2004: 37.12%
2008: 44.67%
2012: 42.83%
2016: 47.93%

Edit: I'll also look at Fayette County, GA which is in the southern part of the metro. Trump won this county by a decent margin but it is also gradually shifting toward the democrats.

Fayette County, GA
2004: 28.29%
2008: 34.17%
2012: 33.61%
2016: 37.85%
