A new poll places Democratic nominee Jerri Green within single digits of Republican Marsha Blackburn in the Tennessee governor’s race, according to the Nashville Banner.
TargetSmart Communications conducted the survey. The Banner described its findings as showing Green narrowing the gap with Blackburn.
The poll was funded by a political action committee that has donated to Green’s campaign. That financial connection is important context for evaluating the findings.
The available excerpt does not include the candidates’ polling percentages, the survey dates, sample size or margin of error, limiting assessment of the reported gap.
