From the Tuke Campaign:

My campaign conducted an 800 sample statewide poll last week and it showed that all our hard work is paying off. The most important finding in the poll was about the primary. We asked the following question:

In the Democratic primary for US Senate, the candidates are: Leonard Ladner, Kenneth Eaton, Gary Davis, Mike Clayton, Mike Padgett and Bob Tuke. Which one would you vote for if the election were held today?

Bob Tuke 38%
Mike Padgett 8%
Other 4%
Undecided 57%

Simply put, we're well on our way to a big win in the primary. But there is more good news to report on the primary numbers. Our pollster (the same pollster Gov. Ned McWherter, Congressman John Tanner and Harold Ford, Jr. used) pointed out that we lead Padgett in all of Tennessee's major media markets including Knoxville.

That's an impressive showing for Tuke. It's also a pretty big undecided number at this point.

UPDATE: Tuke campaign issues a correction:

Today's Tuesdays with Tuke had a typographical error for which I take full responsibility. The correct polling results are as follows:

Bob Tuke 32%
Mike Padgett 8%
Others 4%
Undecided 57%
