WASHINGTON -- Rep. Harold Ford, D-Tenn.,
is running even with Republican Bob Corker in Tennessee, while Democrat Jon
Tester has edged ahead of Sen. Conrad Burns, R-Mont., in Montana, according to
polls released yesterday for some of the most contested Senate races.
The findings suggest an intensely competitive campaign for Congress heading into
the Nov. 7 elections.
In Ohio , Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, is in a virtual tie with Rep. Sherrod Brown,
D-Ohio.
The three races are three that Democrats need to win if they are to take control
of the Senate.
The Mason-Dixon polls done for various media outlets found:
• Ford had the backing of 43 percent in
Tennessee, while former Chattanooga, Tenn., Mayor Corker was backed by 42
percent. Corker had a lead in midsummer polling matching the two.
• Tester has pulled ahead of Burns in
Montana , by 47 percent to 40 percent. They were tied in August polling.
• Brown had 45 percent and DeWine had 43
percent in Ohio, findings similar to those of a Quinnipiac poll released a week
ago.
The polls of 625 registered voters were conducted for MSNBC, McClatchy
Newspapers and newspapers in each of the states
