Not sure how open it is, but these are the numbers:

Democrats:

Clinton 47
Sanders 15
Trump 8
Other 1
Undecided/Refused 30

Republicans:

Trump 33
Cruz 17
Carson 7
Rubio 5
Christie 2
Bush 2
Other 2
Huckabee 1
Sanders 1
Kasich 1
Fiorina 1
Undecided/Refused 31

Independents:

Trump 26
Sanders 10
Clinton 8
Cruz 6
Carson 4
Paul 4
Rubio 3
Bush 2
Huckabee 2
Other 2
Christie 2
Undecided/Refused 33

All Voters:

Trump 24
Clinton 14
Cruz 9
Sanders 8
Carson 4
Rubio 3
Other 2
Christie 1
Bush 1
Paul 1
Huckabee 1
Fiorina <1
Kasich <1
Undecided/Refused 32

The poll was an open-ended question, not giving a list of candidates and allowing anyone to name any candidate, but it only lists the notable major-party candidates in the report, lumping everything else into 'Other':

"Of all the candidates currently running for president, can you please name the one person you would most like to win the election?"

Wow, I thought the Democratic race would've closer than that, since TN has a relatively small minority population.

This poll reeks of junk. It allowed anyone to name any candidate running, as shown by Trump getting 8% of the democratic primary vote. It didn't list the candidates running, and instead of asking "who are you voting for?", it asked "who do you want to win the general?". It's possible some Sanders primary voters said Clinton because A) they think she's inevitable and believe they'll be voting for her in the general, which is essentially what this poll asked, or B) they're voting for Sanders in the primary solely because they want to extend the contest long enough to truly prepare Clinton for a tough GE.

Plus it lumped "Santorum" (who won the 2012 contest here), "Gilmore", and "O'Malley" into "Other". Disgusting.

So adding up the numbers in the all voters category, Republicans lead in Tennessee 45/22 over the Democrats, with 2 percent saying 'Other' (no fair way to divide this up) and 32 percent undecided.
