TN-Emerson Poll: Bredesen+6

[South Dakota Democrat]

Bredesen getting 20% of Republicans and wins Indies by 17 points.

And among very likely voters: 46-39 Bredesen

Excellent numbers.  It's possible for a D to win in a really non-atlas red state, it just takes winning a lot of crossover votes (easier said than done in this climate).  I remember Tom Daschle in South Dakota winning 56% of independents and 17% of Republicans in 2004, but it wasn't enough; he lost by 1.2%.

This does seem like an awful lot of undecideds though.

That sh**ttyMonkey poll was an obvious outlier. Bredesen still has the edge in this race.

I hope so.  It just seems to me that a lot of undecideds are probably Republican leaning voters, and this might bail out Republicans here in the end.  Remains to be seen though.  I hope he wins.

Democrats won a Senate race in Alabama, there’s no reason to believe they can’t win in TN in this environment as well. People really underestimate how competitive this race is.

Exactly. And before day Jones only won because Moore was a pedo, no. The race was a toss up even before the allegations

Not really, it was at least lean R.  Polling showed a high single digit lead for Moore until the allegations.
