The Beacon Center, a nonprofit Nashville think tank, polled Tennessee residents about pressing issues facing the state.

Let's start with the most vital poll result: Alabama has the most obnoxious fan base in the SEC, according to 30% of Tennessee residents surveyed.

Florida Gators and Tennessee Volunteers fans tied for second in the poll at 18% apiece.

Also: It's no surprise former President Trump and Sen. Marsha Blackburn polled well in our deeply conservative state.

Trump leads President Biden 61% to 30% in the Beacon Center's poll of 835 likely voters. Trump's numbers dip in a hypothetical matchup with Robert Kennedy Jr. as a third-party candidate.
In that scenario, Trump is at 48%, Biden is at 23% and Kennedy is at 19%. It's a notable data point for swing states where Kennedy could play spoiler.
Blackburn enjoys sizable leads over likely Democratic opponents, according to the poll. She's ahead of state Rep. Gloria Johnson 49% to 29% and leads Memphis activist Marquita Bradshaw 48% to 36%.
