Lee poll: Rehberg leads Tester in U.S. Senate race

HELENA – Republican challenger Denny Rehberg holds a slight edge over Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester in the state’s most expensive and hotly contested campaign this year, a poll by Lee Newspapers shows.

Rehberg, the state’s sole congressman, is favored by 48 percent of those polled earlier this week, while Tester had the support of 45 percent. Only 6 percent were undecided and 1 percent said they would vote for Libertarian Dan Cox of Hamilton.

“Usually, if an incumbent is trailing, that’s a problem,” said pollster Brad Coker of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, which conducted the poll for Lee Newspapers in Montana. “(But) this is just too close to call.”

Mason-Dixon polled 625 Montana registered voters who said they are likely to vote in the Nov. 6 general election. The margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 4 percentage points – so Rehberg’s lead is within the margin

MO down the tubes? WTF are you talking about? Polls are dead-even. I’ve no doubt Aiken will win it.....Newt and Santorum have both been down campaigning for him.

Missouri is not necessarily down the tubes.


Why? Did Akin step down?

Sounds like you’re singing the following song:

“Gloom, despair, and agony on me
Deep, dark depression, excessive misery
If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all
Gloom, despair, and agony on me”

As for me, I’m among the non defeatists who are making contributions to help Akin in the absence of support from the despicable RNC and other GOPe.

I urge others to support him also and not allow yourself to be lulled into depression and pessimism.
