John McCain beat Barack Obama comfortably in Tennessee in 2008 by 15 percentage points, but a new poll in the Volunteer State may signal trouble ahead for Mitt Romney. According to a Vanderbilt University poll of 1,002 Tennessee residents released over the weekend, President Obama is in a virtual tie with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. The poll shows that, among adult voters, 42 percent would vote for Romney and 41 percent for Obama. The Tennessean‘s Michael Cass notes that “the survey, conducted May 2-9 by Princeton Survey Research Associates International for Vanderbilt, had a margin of error of 4 percentage points.”

Tennessee Democratic fundraiser Bill Freeman was ecstatic over the news. “We’ve been tracking it for some time,” Freeman explained. “We’ve watched it go from a solid-Republican (state) to a leaning-Republican to, we believe, a toss-up state now. We think we’re just a point or two behind and that winning Tennessee is in our grasp…and we’re especially excited about what that’ll mean to the down-ticket races across the state.”
