TN-SEN (NBC/Marist): Bredesen+2

[Zaybay]

This poll is great, since he is nearly at 50%, but the trend line for Bredesen is really bad, as it seems hes losing support as time goes on. I worry what will happen to this race by election day.

You just said two contradicting things in your statement.

Not really, its good that he is near 50%, and that there are a lot of undecideds, but its bad because hes slowly bleeding support. Both can be true, it just depends on which way the race goes. The trend lines suggest that it will tighten, but Bredesen can also get a larger lead.

You said he was nearly at 50% and then said he's bleeding support...

yeah, he used to be at a much larger lead. What it shows is that
1. His base is solidifying-good
2. He is losing the voters he may need-bad
Its a pure tossup
