Big Sky Tie

A Lake Research poll taken 6/20-6/26 for state Senate Pres. Jon Tester (D) shows him in a statistical tie with Sen. Conrad Burns (R), leading him 43%-42%, with 3% for the Libertarian and 12% undecided. That's a pretty good place for a Senate challenger to be only 4 months out from election day, though GOPers might note that Tester has actually held slightly larger leads in previous public polls. The Lake poll has quite a large sample size (1200 LVs, +/-2.8% MoE) and shows Burns with a fav/unfav of 46%/50% compared to Tester's 48%/18%.

Wow. If Hotline has the Democrat up in this race, it must be over.

Considering generic Democrats lead by 97% to 2% among a whopping 800 "voters" the only outcome here and across the land is either (a) Democrat wins or (b) election fraud.

Chris, unfortunately there is a third possibility (c) Republicans use their 20 million dollar advantage to slander Jon Tester. This $$$ comes from corporate pacs like EXXON.
