TN-Committee to Defend the POTUS (R): Blackburn-lead slipping to 3 in internal

[Tender Branson]

A new poll from a political action committee supporting U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn's bid for the U.S. Senate found her lead over former Gov. Phil Bredesen has narrowed in recent months.  

The poll — commissioned by the Committee to Defend the President, which plans to spend heavily in an effort to help Blackburn — found 38 percent of those surveyed supported the Republican congressman while 35 percent favored Bredesen.

Eleven percent of respondents remained undecided.

The latest poll from the Committee to Defend the President is the third such survey the PAC has publicly released.

The new poll also shows Blackburn's lead has been narrowing at least in terms of the GOP-aligned PAC's respondents.

In a poll released in February, Blackburn had a 5 percentage point advantage over Bredesen. In a December poll, Blackburn was up 9 percentage points over Bredesen.

The latest poll from the Committee to Defend the President, conducted over a three day period beginning July 9 surveyed 551 likely Tennessee voters. It had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.2 percentage points.

That sounds dangerously close to the Committee to Re-Elect the President.

Yeah this is going to be pretty close and I'm convinced that Bredesen currently has the slight edge here.

[Chief Justice Keef]

Looks like she might have a tough time Defending the POTUS^TM.

[Rookie Yinzer]

Her Trump-like persona does not resonate coming from a woman. Voters see her and they see a lunatic.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

She was never in the lead

That sounds dangerously close to the Committee to Re-Elect the President.

So, what's the Watergate analogue in Tennessee?

[Mr. Illini]

This is hilariously close for an internal at this stage. Tilt D.

[Brittain33]

While I will be happy as a D if Bredesen wins it kind of sucks that Blackburn is probably losing because of the same misogyny that made Hillary Clinton so "unlikable" to so many voters.

It's not like Blackburn would be a champion for women's rights anyway.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I made a bet with my uncle from Tennessee that if Bredesen defeats Blackburn, I will do Attan for 12 hours.

[Tender Branson]

So, I looked up the results from 2006 and while I remember that Bredesen won re-election as Governor by a huge margin, I didn't know that this was the county map:

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]
