Montana Poll: Steve Daines Surges Against Democrat Steve Bullock
Breitbart ^ | OCtober 8 2020 | SEAN MORAN

Posted on 10/08/2020 6:21:24 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) leads Montana Gov. Steve Bullock (D) in the heated Montana Senate race, according to a poll released Wednesday.

An Emerson College survey found Daines (pictured) leads Bullock by nine points or 52 to 43 percent. Five percent of voters remain undecided. Daines has expanded his lead since the last Emerson Montana poll; Daines led by six points when Emerson released the poll in August.

Spencer Kimball, the director of Emerson College polling, said, “Montana looks about the same as it did at this time in the 2016 race, we will be looking to see if there is a late break in the state which last time went for Trump giving him a 20 point win.”

The Emerson College poll shows more support for Daines compared to a Data for Progress survey released on Wednesday. The Data for Progress poll had Bullock leading Daines by one point over Daines.

A Siena College/New York Times poll released in September had Daines leading Bullock by one point.

An AARP survey released in September also had Daines leading Bullock by three points.

Daines’ bid for a second term serves as one of the many crucial races for control of the Senate majority. Republicans have a 53-member majority in the U.S. Senate, and Democrats need to flip a neat four seats to gain control of Congress’ upper chamber.

Yeah right... ‘surging’

Also known as ‘getting the polls right before we get embarrassed by the poll results.

All polls are lies. The only thing that matters is that you vote R ticket and bring your friends with you to do the same.

The Dems are still convinced they are going to do some sort of sweep Nov 3. I have no idea, but if they lose Montana, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, Maine and Arizona they would go ape sh*t. They have put so much money and effort into trying to flip these seats.

“”””All polls are lies.””””””””

I am an uneducated deplorable but I figured it out long ago.

In this environment NOBODY admits to strangers that they are in favor of President Trump. Many people have lost their jobs because they were outed as Trump supporters. Houses have been burned down.

If a pollster called me I would say I’m a Hiden Biden kind of guy.

I’m going to vote Monday in my white privilege suburb of Minneapolistan. I will vote for every Republican on the ballot.

In my recent travels around my area I’ve seen about a half-dozen examples of something I’ve never seen before: A single-family home with BOTH Trump/Pence and Biden/Harris signs on the front lawn. WTF? LOL.

Probably 30 year old kids move back into Mom / Dad’s basement. Blaming their pathetic “every one gets a trophy” life on Trump.

if Biden wins, it will be a crime to lie to a pollster

A bunch of old cardboard cutout liberals get told that they've been racists all their lives, while the real racists burn down liberal-run towns, and, gosh, doesn't matter where they happen to live now...

It is exasperating that Democrats are even competitive in MT. They’ve often had both Senate seats over the years.

Headlines should read, “Polls Start to Align With Reality as Election day Nears”

This is very good news.

The Senate races are the first place where the polls will start to be truthful.

Since they are pinpointed to one state, it is much harder to get people to believe fake polls regardless of the size of the state.

Next truthful House races across the country will appear for the same reason.

For instance, in the 11th NY, the Republican challenger leads by a small but solid margin. This is important.

The district may be in New York City but its demographics are like about 25 districts around the country.
