Poll gives Democrats bad news in key Senate Race
Yahoo News ^ | Aug 3, 2020 | David Knowles Editor

Posted on 08/03/2020 12:00:17 PM PDT by 11th_VA

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.

Headlines always seem to frame things from the perspective of Democrats, but the media is nonpartisan - just ask them.

Thank you for referencing that article 11th_VA. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

We need to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment and not concern ourselves with Senate elections.

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.

Bullock talks a good moderate game — working withe other side, blah-blah-blah — even though his positions are pretty standard-issue Dem stuff. My understanding is that when his races are close, the Indian reservations provide the margin of, uh, “victory.”

Those who can do. Those who can't teach.

Those who can neither do nor teach go into journalism to parrot deep state talking points.

But I insult parrots because these noble birds are capable of thinking for themselves.

Bad news for Democrats = Good News for Americans.

“democrat” and American are mutually exclusive terms now; they made it that way.

According to Biden, they go with truth over facts.

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.
