The last polls matter most. Polls showing a tie between Bredeson and Blackburn look like outliers, but so did some late polls suggesting that Trump was in a virtual tie in such states as Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin... and Trump leads in Florida, Iowa, and Ohio.
We just experienced two of the worst incidents of domestic terrorism in America, one of them by a fanatical Trump supporter and one by a neo-Nazi. The President handled those badly, and within two weeks of the midterm election. I'm not saying that 2016 and 2018 are mirror images because they are very different.
The election for Senator from Tennessee looks like a nailbiter, the most recent such election in Tennessee having been held in 2006. This looks even closer.
