Early voting for Tennessee’s 7th District special election ends Nov. 26. On Dec. 2, Tennesseans will vote to fill the seat vacated by retired U.S. Rep. Mark Green.

Green announced his resignation on June 9 and officially stepped down in July. Republican nominee Matt Van Epps and Democratic nominee Aftyn Behn will face off in the general election to fill the congressional seat.

Ahead of election day, a new Emerson College Polling/The Hill survey shows how Tennessean voters are leaning.

The poll found Van Epps with 48% support and Behn with 46%. Two percent back one of three third-party candidates, while 5% remain undecided. When undecided voters are asked which way they lean, Van Epps’ support rises to 49% and Behn’s to 47%.
