The margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 4 percentage points. That's a big percentage. 
Among those polled, 36 percent said they are Republicans, 34 percent said they are Democrats and 30 percent consider themselves independent. However, Coker said the polling results indicate that independents in Montana tend to lean Republican.
Hence a slight over-poll of Republicans
Read the rest - this is a chance to pick up another unforeseen Senate seat. Hope it happens!
Rehberg had been slamming Tester for taking more money from lobbyists than anyone else in Congress this term... until Tester released a video of Rehberg praising Lobbying as a “noble profession” and that he seriously considered becoming one.....
ugh
Like in PA, MT voters have disappointed us many times.
Montana is not a typical state, straight party voting is not that common. If folks think the Dims will retain control of the Senate they will vote for Tester, if they think the GOP will get control they will vote for Rehberg. Same for the House.
Romney is ahead but not by as much as I would expect, O was competitive last time around which was surprising and more libs have moved into the state since then. The Dims will probably keep control of the Governorship, Schweitzer would easily win if he was not term limited so I suspect his popularity will rub off.
Absentee voting starts soon and I think it could be a big factor in the Senate race, there are plenty of folks like me who wont vote for either liberal at the top of the ticket and it remains to be seen if they will bother to show up or vote absentee.
MT is just the kind of place where a Libertarian can divert a Senate race to a Democrat.
That's kind of wild. A state with more Senators than Congressmen and thus a Congressman who represents more people than the Senators do. He deserves a pay raise.
Actually, that spread is about right for Montana, IIRC.
More good news
