TN-Vanderbilt University/The Tennessean: Sen. Corker (R) with high approvals

[Tender Branson]

Poll respondents also gave high marks to Haslam and U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker. Haslam's approval rating was just 53 percent, but his disapproval rate was just 15 percent, while more than 27 percent said they would wait and see.

The poll was conducted the week after Haslam, a former Knoxville mayor and business executive, took office on Jan. 15.

"He's starting out on pretty good footing," Geer said.

About 63 percent approved of both Alexander, a second-term senator, and Corker, who is four years into his first term.

Caroline Tippens, another law student and a moderate Republican, said both senators "tend to listen to their constituents and try to take in constituents' views while they're in the political climate of Washington."

"I think they're trying to do the best they can for the people of Tennessee," she said.

Assuming PPP polls the state, Corker should have nothing to worry about ...

[tpfkaw]

Joke poll, but Corker should have no problems outside the primary.

I wonder how Hank Williams, Jr. would poll?

Here's hoping we'll find out if/when PPP polls it.

Oh, is he getting a primary? Excellent! I've never cared for him.

Apparently, from Hank Williams, Jr. himself.

Eh, whatever. I wish one of the good men that unfortunately lost to Corker in the primary would return but I guess that is almost impossible.

Considering both of them have now been out of office for 8 years, yeah, that's pretty unlikely.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

All his rowdy friends are coming over to vote.

[Capitan Zapp Brannigan]

Imagine how D.O.A. Harold Ford would be this year if he had won.

[HappyWarrior]

I could sadly see Corker losing in a primary, though that could help make it a possible toss up seat if it is someone nuts enough.  Who knows if a Tea Partier gets nominated maybe we could get Bredesen to run.

TN has a habit of running two "good" men in the primaries leading to a split in the "good" vote nominating the not so good candidate.

Corker's not bad. I always knew he'd be safe once Ford lost in 2006.

[Mexino Vote]

I'm support Hank Williams Jr. Nuff said.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I don't really have a problem with him myself, there are far worse Senators.
