Phil Bredesen holds double-digit lead over Marsha Blackburn in US Senate race (Tennessee BlueWave)

Former Gov. Phil Bredesen has a 10-point lead over U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn in the race to succeed U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, according to a new poll from Middle Tennessee State University.

The poll, released Thursday, found 45 percent of 600 registered Tennessee voters said they would choose Bredesen, a Democrat and former Nashville mayor, if the election were immediately held.

Blackburn, a Brentwood Republican, netted 35 percent, with another 17 percent of respondents saying they were not sure.

Three percent of respondents declined to answer.

Blue wave, popular former Governor in Bredesen, and she's way too far right, even for Tennessee.
