Trend Clearly Shows Advantage For Ford

I often talk about polling trends on this blog. In order to better visualize the current trend in the U.S. Senate race, I have posted below a list of every poll taken that compares Harold Ford Jr. and Bob Corker.

As you can see by looking the chart, Congressman Ford started out way behind. However, with each passing month, he has picked up more and more steam and now has built a durable lead over Corker.

See the trend for yourself: (Chart from wiki)
