HELENA - A new poll shows GOP incumbent U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns locked in a statistical tie with Democratic challenger Jon Tester.
The USA Today/Gallup Poll released Friday shows likely voters favor Tester 48 percent to Burns' 45 percent, inside the poll's margin of error of 4 percentage points. Registered voters favored Burns 44 percent to 42 percent, again inside the margin of error.
The telephone survey of 870 registered voters was taken Aug. 23-Aug. 27, and included a subsample of 641 people deemed most likely to vote in November.

Montanans WAKE UP!!!
Vote for the Republican!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A friend of mine did some contracting work for Tester. Guess whose large portrait he has hanging in his bathroom? Chairman Mao.
Imagine having a US Senator who idolizes the worst mass murdering totalitarian leader in human history.
I have an autographed picture of a very young King Hussein of Jordan for historical reasons.
For historical reasons, someone could easily have a picture of Mao who was a quite famous person.
I always thought that Montana, Idaho, etc, were reservoirs of "real Americans" unlike the liberal neocommunists from the eastern cities who question God, country, mom, apple pie, the flag and the Second Amendment.
I hope you guys can pull through.
Bush should use Laura more often. She is very charming and wellspoken.
Be interesting to see what the numbers were among likely voters.
This is one the enemy is counting on bigtime.
The topline numbers are likely voters.
Tester leads three among likely voters; Burns leads two among registered voters. This indicates that according to this poll, Democrats in Montana are more motivated than Republicans in Montana are to vote.
Had I read more carefully I'd have seen this. Looks like it's time to advertise John's record. Pin him down on what he'll do.
If he really idolized Mao, as you claim, don't you think he'd have the portrait somewhere other than his bathroom? Would you take a dump in front of your hero?
He is, at best, trivializing Mao, who was a mass murderer even worse than Hitler. Everyone knows that a poster of Hitler anywhere outside a museum would be unacceptable,
and for good reason. It is a mockery of his victims.
Why is a poster of Mao all right? I think it proves that Tester, who after all is running for the Senate, doesn't understand the evil of communism.
And why do we assume that the placement of the poster in the bathroom is meant to be a joke? Maybe he just didn't want it too clear where his sympathies lie. An issue should be made of this, and will be if the Republicans have any guts.
You're the second person who defended this. Interesting.
Sad, but remember Frank Church? He was evetually flushed down the bowl. The others will go too, if we can maintain control of the Republican Party.
If not, its time to pack up, let it wither on the vine as another Dem clone and start another political party.
I thought it was Kalipornia ?
No I'm the second person wondering what, assuming the story is true, the bid deal is?
We have sadly started to turn blue since the insurgence of California pukes and east coasters here. Lots of grey pony tails with lots of forehead oh and fanny packs! Lots of 30-40 yr old women who don't dye their hair and consequently lots of liberal aholes now taking over real Montanans! WAKE UP MT AND GET THE VOTE OUT! I can imagine if Conrad pulls this out in a squeaker we'll hear the howling of a stolen election. Wait for it!
I'd feel a lot better about him being in office if he had a picture of George Washington in his bathroom.
I'll trade ya two Tojo's and a Hitler for your Pol Pot! :>)
I have a tremendous admiration for Abraham Lincoln. I have a number of books on him and own a small brass bust of the President. And because I have such a high regard for him I have the books in my den and the bust on my desk. I could imagine nothing more insulting than placing Lincoln's picture in the john and nowhere else.
This story should wake anyone up to the underhanded dirty political tactics employed by Tester and the Democrats. The Democrats are going out of their way to get their guy elected.
Write letters to editors and Conrad needs to hit back hard.
This Tester is a punk thug.
He's the worst sort of Democrat I've seen in this state, and he's compared himself to Mike Mansfield (former Montana Senator and Ambassador to Japan). He is nothing like Mansfield. Mansfield had character.
I think he's a punk. Conrad is hardly a favorite of mine, but this Tester is outrageous.
I'll crawl on broken glass if I have to, to vote for Burns.
I would too.
I burned the two debates onto a CD-ROM and gave it to mom and dad. They're voting for Burns anyway, but it gave them a sense of just how arrogant Tester is.
Just make sure your letters to editors are killers.
