These are most biased headlines I have ever seen. A poll done by a reputible (i don't care if that is spelled right) has Ford ahead by 5. Yet, its eeking out a slim lead? Now a poll by some university I have never heard of with students doing the polling that has Corker with a 1 point lead is all of a sudden a regaining of the advantage?preciction Map

University of Tenn does polling all the time for TN. And did you read my Mason Dixon entry it wasn't biased then?!

I don't see any mason-dixon thread by you.... Though if u have a link. And although Tennessee U is also a state university, this is not Tennessee U doing the poll. The fact remains that this poll was done over 11 fricken days and by a non-reputible polling firm. preciction Map

I emailed Dave to add the school's name, concerning the title so I changed it the Survey USA. The Middle Tenn Univ isn't on the tab. But in the article it states that it in line with the Mason Dixon poll that showed Ford ahead by 1 point, it is either 1 pt Corker or 1 point Ford it is statistically tied. It seems like that Rasmussen poll was an outlier. And Dave can you add Middle Tennessee State Univ if you didn't get my email?
