LATEST MONTANA POLL SHOWS DEMOCRATIC SEN JON TESTER BARELY AHEAD OF REPUBLICAN CHALLENGER
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/23/2018 | Jason Hopkins

A poll shows Montana Democratic Sen. Jon Tester barely leading his Republican challenger, indicating the seat might be within reach for the GOP.

A survey conducted by Montana State University and the Montana Television Network shows Tester beating state auditor Matt Rosendale, his Republican opponent, by 3 percentage points. The poll — released Monday — shows Tester pulling in 46 percent of registered voters to Rosendale’s 43 percent. Over 6 percent of respondents said they are still undecided.

The survey suggests a neck-and-neck race just two weeks ahead of Election Day.

“In just 19 days, the people of this incredible state are going to send Matt Rosendale to the Senate to protect your jobs and your second amendment,” President Donald Trump said at a rally in Missoula, Montana, on Friday.

It’s amazing to me that a Dem can even think about being elected in Montana.

6 percent undecided. Undecided voters very seldom break for the incumbent. They either don’t vote, or they vote for the challenger.

Registered Voters, Not Likely voters.

See here for as much internals that they are currently allowing us to see: The Montana U.S. Senate Race, MSU-MTN POLL Results

Additionally, they don't give the percentage breakdown along party-lines with respect to the overall poll.

JUNK POLL!!!!

When an encumbant can’t reach 50% in the polls, it’s not good for him.

So they say...

Polling is irrelevant. Rs have crushed it in early voting in MT. Watch the votes, not the polls.
