Seems close to the final margin, as opposed to Lee winning by 20 (LOL).

While this race isn't competitive like the Senate race, we'll almost certainly see a narrower margin than we saw in 2016.

An average of the 2 polls is probably closer to reality. I don't see Bredesen coming within striking distance while Dean simultaneously loses by 20+ (lol) but at the same time, Bredesen's success and appeal aren't inherently going to create huge coat-tails.

The situation is flipped from 2002 when Bredesen was the gubernatorial candidate and ran well ahead of Bob Clement, the Nashville congressman running for Senate.  Bredesen is a unique candidate for the Tennessee political environment with many Republicans (hopefully enough) to cross over to vote for him.  I don't see the same for Karl Dean.
