While polls early last week began to write off Harold Ford's possibility of winning the election to become a U.S. Senator from Tennessee, the latest polls being released today show that both Ford and Corker are still running neck and neck. Polls show them as being in a statistical tie. The Chattanoogan reports:

“Don’t believe those polls telling you that we don’t have a chance,” Rep. Harold Ford Jr. told the hundreds of clapping, cheering supporters who packed Bessie Smith Hall on Sunday night, during his final round of appearances before Tuesday’s election.

Rep. Ford said the latest polls – due to be released Monday by USA Today and Rasmussen Polls – show that he and former Chattanooga Mayor Bob Corker, the Republican nominee, are running neck and neck in their race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.
