Tennessee? Democrat holds double-digit lead over Trump-backed Republican

[Amica Nostra 4,803]

There’s a race to succeed retiring Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., leaving the baton to be passed onto either a far-right backed Republican or a Democrat

 

 

Former Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen is vying for the seat against Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn, and according to a new poll by The Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), Bredesen is leading the race by ten points. According to the poll, as reported by The Tennessean, 45 percent of voters said they would vote for Bredesen if the race were held today. Thirty-five percent said they’d vote for Blackburn. Seventeen percent were still thinking about who to give their vote.

The Democrats' popularity crosses party lines, as twenty percent of Republicans polled said they would vote for Bredesen. Only 5 percent of Democrats said they would vote for Blackburn.

The Tennessean noted that this is the first report to indicate that Bredesen has a double-digit lead over Blackburn.

"I think some of that good will or social capital that he built up as governor may be paying dividends for him now," the director of the MTSU survey, Ken Blake, told The Tennessean. Bredesen could have the upper hand due to his leadership during his time as governor, and when served as the mayor of Nashville.

Blue wave incoming! Donnie is going to get humiliated come November. He'll be making more calls to the President between now and then.

So the Dems are sexist as well?

Nope, nothing biased about that at all.

Better than a far left Republican which is what we have a lot of in Congress right now.

2018 midterms could be -1 for Dems. Dems could lose ND, WV, IN, and MO; Reps could lose TN, AZ, and NV. Total +1 for Reps. 

 

Dems also sound very optimistic about O'Rourke in TX. He already raised close to $7M.

For the Senate?  That sounds realistic.  -1 I would actually be a victory considering the # of Dem seats up.  That opportunity reverses in two years.
