EXCLUSIVE: Another Poll Shows Marsha Blackburn with Big Lead Over Bob Corker Among Tennessee GOP Primary Voters
Marsha Blackburn
Another recent poll obtained by Breitbart News shows that Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN-07) has a big lead over Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) among Tennessee Republican primary voters.
 Marsha Blackburn  is viewed favorably by nearly half of Republican voters (47%) and has ample room to grow with around 2 in 5 who either donât recognize  her  or who do recognize  her  but havenât formed an opinion yet (16% & 20%). In contrast  a majority of Republican primary voters are split on Corker (39% favorable  41% unfavorable)  leaving only 1 in 5 who have yet to form an opinion. This translates into a 19-point lead for  Blackburn  on the primary ballot.
Ragnar Research Associates concluded that â Marsha Blackburn  has a strong lead in a hypothetical matchup versus Senator Bob Corker among Republican primary voters (+19). Her lead is significant among self-identified conservatives (70% of Republican primary voters) and her image (fav/unfav) is in a much stronger position than Senator Corkerâs. (+31 for  Blackburn  versus -2 for Corker) â adding:
Furthermore   Blackburn  has room to grow  as 36% of Republicans donât know her or havenât formed an opinion of her. The opportunity especially exists in East Tennessee where her ballot lead is only +7  compared to middle Tennessee and west Tennessee (areas she has represented in the House) where her ballot lead is +24 and +31 respectively. As  Blackburn  becomes more known across the state  she has the opportunity to build upon her already strong image and solidity Republican support heading into the 2018 general election.
A Senate Conservatives Fund poll released last week prior to the withdrawal of former Rep. Stephen Fincher (R-TN-08) from the race showed  Blackburn  with a 49 percent to 26 percent lead over Corker  with Fincher in third place with nine percent.
A subsequent poll released by the Committee to Defend the President that did not included Fincher showed  Blackburn  with a 55 percent to 26 percent lead over Corker.
Corker announced on September 26 that he would not be seeking a third term in the United States.  Blackburn  announced  her  candidacy the following month.
