Let's just say that if Bredesen wins while Nelson loses, this firm will become the new gold standard of polling.

I'm sure all the people who believed their Tennessee poll will now say it is junk. :)

Junk! Are we seriously supposed to believe Bredesen is tied while Nelson is losing by 4 in a much less red state?

Obviously. But the point is that many posters had no problem believing it when it told them what they wanted to hear, but now will dismiss it when it doesn't. The flagrant hackery is beyond the pale.

I don't believe any of them. I think Nelson is up by about two and Blackburn is up by about 5.

Tuesday, a delicate election day. Are you ready for it ?

On Wednesday, there will be bad blood but one of them will go out with style. But right now, it seems Blackburn can't shake off the Phil. She doesn't want to live in Congress forever, right ?

Hopefully, Tennesseans can say on Wednesday: "Look what you made us do !"

Sad!

Anyway, while I doubt that Scott wins in a big Democratic wave, this race certainly isn’t over yet, and FL is probably the fourth most vulnerable Democratic seat after ND, MO, IN.

Yeah, as others have said, Tennessee is not voting 4 points to the left of Florida.

People are starting to forget that this aint over yet (btw I still think Nelson wins).

LMAO. Well, I'll give you some credit for not being a hypocrite at least. But this post is not going to age well.

On the bright side both Nelson and Gillum lead in the early vote according to this poll...

Actually, that's not "bright" at all if you're a Democrat, because it suggests yet another redux of past years where Democrats do well in the early vote and then fall to a Republican surge on Election Day. This is the second FL poll to suggest that Republicans have a potentially rich pool of Election Day votes.

Well, it's more believable than their TN poll.

They aren't "suggesting" a rich pool...they are modeling an electorate. Let me put it this way: in order for Scott and DeSantis to win (if we assume the early vote is to the D's) they need NPA's to break their way. Look at the 2016 exits - how did Trump win Florida when Clinton won the early vote even though the R's had a registration advantage? The late deciders broke his way (55-38), white college women broke his way (60-37) and the Indies broke his way (47-43).
