It looks to be an interesting election. Blackburn is shoulder to shoulder with Trump and will constantly screech that Bredesen is actually Obama/Pelosi/Hillary in disguise. Bredesen is a popular former governor who is looked on as a moderate candidate who would spend his time as senator doing the job, not Trump bashing.
Rural areas should break heavily for Blackburn; other areas will be more amenable to Bredesen. Tennessee is changing; lots of people from different parts of the country are moving here. It may be a red state, but the shade of red is not as deep as it used to be.
I personally would not be comfortable voting for Blackburn and the vibes I get around here are that a lot of people are not exactly thrilled with her as a candidate. Just my opinion after living here for a year in Middle Tennessee
Former Gov. Phil Bredesen has a 10-point lead over U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn in the race to succeed U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, according to a new poll from Middle Tennessee State University. The latest poll is the first survey released this year to suggest Bredesen has a double-digit lead over Blackburn.
The MTSU poll also found Bredesen had a considerable advantage over Blackburn in terms of getting support from voters on the other side of the aisle.
The political makeup of the poll's respondents included 34 percent Republicans, 25 percent Democrats and 28 percent independents, with another 8 percent choosing "other."
The Democrat leading the Republican in Tennessee, in a poll that surveyed more Republicans than Democrats.
Is this is one of those supposedly "safe" seats for the GOP?
No shock. Bredesen was wildly popular, 16 years as Nashville mayor plus Tn gov, and for most years terrific economic growth.
Bredesen is an old fashioned normal Democrat who dropped TennCare rolls by over 1 million, a move he championed. W/O asking Pelosi's approval.
