Senate Conservatives Fund Reminds Liddle Bob Corker: It's Time to Retire!

We just received the results from our latest poll of the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee and I wanted you to be the first to know.

As liberal Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) reconsiders his decision to retire, he should proceed with great caution.

According to our survey, likely Republican primary voters want him to retire by an overwhelming margin.

• Retire – 64%
• Seek Re-Election – 24%
• Unsure – 12%

And if Senator Corker were to run against the two Republicans already in the race, he would lose by 23 points to conservative U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) if the election were held today.

• Marsha Blackburn – 49%
• Bob Corker – 26%
• Steven Fincher – 9%
• Undecided – 17%

Looking at the favorable and unfavorable opinions that Republican primary voters have of Corker and Blackburn it's clear that if Corker runs, it will be at his own peril.

While Corker has a negative net image (-2%), Blackburn has a very positive net image (+43%).

BOB CORKER

• Very Favorable – 18%
• Somewhat Favorable – 29%
• Somewhat Unfavorable – 27%
• Very Unfavorable – 22%
• Not Sure / No Opinion – 4%

MARSHA BLACKBURN

• Very Favorable – 36%
• Somewhat Favorable – 28%
• Somewhat Unfavorable – 10%
• Very Unfavorable – 11%
• Not Sure / No Opinion – 15%

While many in the swamp are cheering the idea of Senator Corker running again, Republican voters in Tennessee are not. 

If he wants to throw his hat back into the ring, that's his prerogative. But we won't back down from supporting Marsha Blackburn.

If you haven't already donated to her campaign, please contribute $25, $50, $100, or more today.

Thank you for being part of our team to build a conservative Senate. We hope this polling data is helpful to you.

Sincerely,
