Republican Sen. Steve Daines holds a 6 point lead in his reelection race with Montana Democratic Governor Steve Bullock in a race that will help decide the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, according to a poll released Monday by Emerson College.
Daines received 50 percent support in the poll while 44 percent said they would vote for Bullock. Five percent of those contacted said they were still undecided in the race.
Like other traditionally Republican strongholds, Montana is being looked at to see whether support for President Trump has softened, giving Democrats a better chance of retaking control of the Senate. To do that, they need to flip three seats in November and win the White House (or four if Trump is reelected) and Bullock, who mounted an unsuccessful campaign for president this year, is seen as strong contender. Two weeks ago, a Public Policy Polling survey of the race found Bullock leading Daines by 2 points.

There is an out for him. Biden names him the VP candidate like I did with Newsom yesterday. In return he becomes POTUS in the unlikely event Biden wins. He can make an impression for 2024 if they lose as expected. Just think. Democrat governor in a red state means the party goes mainstream rather than whacko left. Just explain it to the lefties the same way they did when they screwed Bernie.
Not disputing yur point but adding to it — lot of union history in the mining and related fields out there. Guy feel like grandpa’s union democrat history locks him into being a Democrat also.
Plus the Dems are working on Idaho, too - imports from Silicon Valley, working remotely.
HUGE! I dont think Ruth Buzzard can hang on much longer. We have got to hang onto the Senate.
but but but i thought charlie cook said the d’s were taking the Senate?
Longtime union stronghold, mining, etc., dating back to the state's founding.
Was seriously red during eighties and nineties, but hordes of Californicators and Leftist millionaire/billionaires are determined to bring with them all the filth and degeneracy they pretend they want to flee.

Well, it’s Montana, isn’t Montana already a red state?
I doubt there are enough union jobs there to make much difference. I don’t think oil workers are voting for demonrats.

MT has rarely elected Republican Senators since the popular vote. Steve Daines is only the 3rd in a century. The other two was a one-termer in 1946 and Conrad Burns (1989-2007) who had his 4th term stolen from him by corrupt justice officials in D.C. on fake criminal charges.
Wonder why Yahooooooo decided to put this political story in the sports section?
Ahh, so THAT'S the reason why Google extended their work at home rule.
“traditional Montana” - yes, but liberals from California are buying up property and moving, at least moving their official addresses, to Montana and Idaho - bringing with them their liberal political balloting.
That helps. Thanks!
Native Americans vote Dem, too. Since they are supposedly their own nations, why do they get to vote in our elections?
The "rez" has been bringing it home for him...
“Too many Liberaltarians out west. They claim to be conservative but would vote for Karl Marx if promised a sack of dope to smoke with their queer boyfriend.”
Libertarians are still upset that FDR didn’t allow 20 divisions of Hitler’s wehrmacht to set up shop in Kansas...because freedom of association.
