MT-Sen, TN-Sen, OH-Sen: M-D delivers good news

MONTANA

Mason-Dixon. 9/26-28. Likely voters. MoE 4% (5/22-24 results)

Burns (R) 40 (42)
Tester (D) 47 (45)

Favorability ratings

Burns
Favorable 36 (35)
Unfavorable 45 (41)

Tester
Favorable 48 (28)
Unfavorable 26 (10)

As much as they've tried to demonize Tester, throwing out the usual "he's too liberal" crap, those millions in attack ads have been a huge waste. The more people see of Tester and get to know him, the more they like him.

OHIO

TENNESSEE

Mason-Dixon. 9/25-27. Likely voters. MoE 4% (7/17-19 results)

Corker (R) 42 (49)
Ford (D) 43 (36)

Favorability ratings

Corker
Favorable 38 (37)
Unfavorable 35 (16)

Ford
Favorable 44 (35)
Unfavorable 30 (27)

The trends on the favorability ratings suggests that the DSCC and Ford campaigns are doing a hell of a job defining Corker. Just about everyone that has learned about Corker the last two months has a negative impression of him. Of course, Corker has offered a target-rich environment. He was an awful mayor who couldn't keep basic services like 9-1-1 running. But these numbers are nothing short of startling.

Incidentally, along with the Virginia poll results released Friday (tied 43-43), this is four battleground polls by M-D, the best polling outfit in the biz. There will be two additional polls released tomorrow. I would assume it'll be two of the following three -- Missouri, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania.
