How accurate is this pollster?  Its not like this result isn't believable, Corker is probably marginally ahead but undecideds will be greater because of the success of Ford's campaign.  He has managed to at least attract potential voters who would lean GOP in Tennessee.

Well its a University poll but it seems to have similar results compared to all of the other recent polls on this race. Ford is clearly in command. Lets just hope everyone doesn't chicken out in the booth and vote for the white guy.

I don't think this is accurate. The polling span of 11 days is too many.
