Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is tied with former Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) in a new poll of the closely-watched Tennessee Senate race.
The survey conducted by East Tennessee State University on Friday shows that both Bredesen and Blackburn are earning support from 44 percent of likely voters, according to The Tennessean.
The newspaper notes that the poll did not include information on the percentage of likely voters that remain undecided.
The ETSU survey shows Bredesen with a substantial lead over Blackburn among independent voters. Forty-six percent of independents said they preferred Bredesen, while 35 percent favored Blackburn.
Bredesen and Blackburn are vying to fill the seat Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) who chose not to run for re-election.
