Poll: Republican Matt Rosendale Takes 11th-Hour Lead in Montana over Democrat Jon Tester
Breitbart ^ | 5 Nov 2018 | Mathew Boyle

Posted on 11/05/2018 9:02:26 AM PST by mandaladon

State auditor and Republican Senate nominee Matt Rosendale has taken an 11th-hour lead in Montana over Democrat Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), surging ahead of the Democrat in the wake of President Donald Trump’s latest rally there on Saturday. A Change Research poll released late Sunday evening shows Rosendale, at 49 percent, leading Tester’s 46 percent. Libertarian Rick Breckenridge, who dropped out last week and endorsed Rosendale’s campaign saying a Rosendale win is better for the liberty cause than a Tester win, got three percent in this survey.

Tester only leads 51-38 among independents, and that's probably not enough for him to win. And Montana's political trends don't seem to be in his favor.

I’ve never seen a politician in any country due campaign barnstorming even close to his pace and enthusiasm.

Yep, definitely an asset and one way to attempt to overcome the media bias.

The Libertarian candidate dropped out last week and endorsed Rosendale.

I predict we’ll be stuck with Mitt for 25 years or so. By then, he’ll have one of his sons teed up.

Exactly what I’m afraid of.

Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007 and was the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.

Too bad he lost to Obama but......

Mitt Romney is the epitome of Bush League Republican, hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico.

He never intended to win in 2012, just as McCain in 2008.
They were both willing Designated Losers.
The Kenyanesian Usurpation was going to happen.
BOTH parties wanted Precedent Obama to clear the way for their stables full of ineligible candidates.

It seems like Don Jr and Kimberly have been there non-stop beating the bushes for votes. They deserve a lot of credit if they retire Tester, IMO.

Lazy Obama is right. You know he didn’t even bother to appoint judges. I guess he thought he’d leave that for Hillary.

As far as Bush, he was a joke.

Trump runs things like a business. He’s not going to sit around until he’s got things running on auto pilot.

Add the Libertarian 3% to Rosendale and you have a nice lead.

Montana, like many states, doesn’t register voters by party so an “independent” voter there is someone who simply says they are.

In the majority of cases (going by election results), a person who claims to be “independent” is just someone who is too delusional or gutless to admit what they really are — a liberal. So naturally a Democrat candidate would do well with a group such as that: “Democrats in all but name”.

Isn’t ‘Change Research’ a Democrat pollster? Didn’t they put out that laughable “Cruz and O’Rourke are tied!” poll? What’s going on here?

It’s hard to fathom Dems having Senate seats in ND, Montana, WV, Indiana, Missouri. The GOP Senatorial Committee has been historically inept. Even now they are not fully behind President Trump and have failed to take advantage of his wins on taxes, the economy, and border security.

All courtesy of the 17th amendment.

The RNC has for many years either nominated Bush League Republicans hell bent on turning the USA into North Mexico or, failing that, helping Democrats defeat GOP candidates that sided with the citizens and the rule of law.

The RNC has no power to nominate anyone - certainly not at the state level.

“In key states like FL and AZ, the average age of an early voter was around 60..”

I’m sixty and in Arizona. That wouldn’t be a good sign for them.

LOL! I suspect the ETOH beverage prices are going up, not just because of NY Eve.
