Marsha Blackburn surges to 8-point lead over Phil Bredesen in new CBS poll
Tennessean ^ | Oct 6, 2018 | Joey Garrison

Republican Marsha Blackburn has surged to an 8-point lead over Democrat Phil Bredesen in a new CBS poll of Tennessee's U.S Senate race — a bounce that coincides with the nation's furious debate over the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The poll, released Sunday, found Blackburn, a conservative Williamson County congressman, with support from 50 percent of registered voters in Tennessee, compared to 42 percent for Bredesen, a former two-term Tennessee governor.

It comes as the pollster says this race and others where Democrats are seeking to win in traditionally Republican states have "nationalized." The collection of polls in Tennessee, Arizona and Texas found Democrats with "at best mixed results."

Blackburn is seeking to replace the retiring U.S. Sen. Bob Corker in a closely contested campaign, and her lead is the largest any public poll has placed her at since the Aug. 2 primary.

I think you will find the same situation in Texas with Cruz...he’ll collect three to four points.

Exactly. This is a huge jump from previous polls. We're going to see this across the board by Election Day. It's looking like ND and MO flip from Democrat to Republican for sure.

Taylor Swift did a Cost–benefit analysis on this Bredesen endorsement.

She figured she is no longer a Country Music Star but really a Pop Star so coming out as a Democrat will not hurt her album sales

Blackburn is one of the first to be gifted with a personal appearance and endorsement by Trump.

A typical Trump overflow rally.

a poll like this is meaningless.

Blackburn is most likely going to win, but a poll of REGISTERED VOTERS instead of LIKELY VOTERS showing a big lead is intended to manipulate Blackburn voters to stay home by thinking she has a large lead and does not need their vote.

and THINK ..... this is a CBS poll

Just plain no. She’s a solid conservative

You are thinking of Marsha Clark. Not even close to the same
