Poll: Ford Leading Opponent 51-44 %...

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is releasing a new poll today that shows Ford with a seven-point lead over Corker, 51% - 44%. Hamilton Beattie & Staff conducted the survey among 800 likely voters statewide from October 2 to October 4, 2006. The margin of error was 3.3%.

"Polls go up and down but with less than a month to go until Election Day, we'd rather be where Harold Ford is than where Bob Corker is," DSCC spokesman Phil Singer said. "Corker is in disarray, shaking things up and hiring Hollywood media types instead of explaining things like why he's for staying the course in Iraq one day and against it the next. With this kind of wavering, it's no wonder that Tennesseans are turning to Harold Ford Jr. to lead on Iraq, national security and other issues."
