Despite the next election being over a year away, new polling has come out that should give Tester some pause. Coming off of last year's wave, the Democratic Party has seen its luck go south in the state.
Against current Congressman Denny Rehberg, Tester is in trouble.
Tester (D): 46% Rehberg (R): 45% Other/und: 9%
Tester comes below the important 50% threshold for incumbents. Rehberg is the state's only representative and is relatively popular. Add to that the fact that Montanans don't like government interference or profligate spending, and we're likely to have an interesting 2012.

Conrad Burns should have stepped aside back in 2006, Rehberg would have won the seat then.
I fear 2012 may be too late for our country.
