Bush had the support of 48 percent and Kerry, the four-term Massachusetts senator and presumptive nominee, 44 percent, which was within the survey's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points. In 2000, Bush won Tennessee, defeating Democrat Al Gore in his home state.
The Middle Tennessee State University poll was conducted Feb. 16-28 and surveyed 701 voting-age state residents.
Among respondents, 47 percent said going to war against Iraq was worthwhile while 48 percent said it was not. In a survey last fall by the same researchers, 54 percent of respondents thought the war was worthwhile.
