A new SurveyUSA poll in Montana finds Sen. Jon Tester (D) leading challenger Tim Sheehy (R) in the U.S. Senate race, 49% to 40%.

1. That's great! I like Tester.

Seems like a good guy.

2. He has been a dedicated Senator for the people of Montana.

He is a good man.

[Norbert]

3. So happy to hear this

I've always liked Jon. I hope Sherrod Brown gets good news like this.

4. Best leading indicator I've heard in a long time

I'm thinking Montana is a rural heartland of older, common sense type folks.

5. Let's not forget how much we disdain polls when they say something we DON'T like. But even so.....

Nine points is significant. Tester has been a great Senator, too, and I think the voters of Montana know by now who is for real, and who is for show. Joe Biden calls him "Big Jon," and it's not just because of his physical size.

7. Your point is duly noted.

Although this is good news, the only poll that matters is the one in November.

14. Yup!

I have never met Tester, but he seems like good people. Maybe I should invite him to the next Marks and Johns dinner!

11. But let's DO forget when Lawrence cornered Kornacki

who said a lot of the polls contain folks who are not serious.

12. I don't get US TV here

So, I never see that stuff at all unless someone sends me a link to a clip.

13. Oh it was classic: How to explain the disparity in polls vs. turnout.

[DFW]

15. Sounds like a fun episode

But we don't get any of the American channels here.

17. State-wide or district polls are more in tune. National not so much.

6. Hope this holds

8. If we can convince the voters that we don't need...

Another militant asshole bully in Congress/Senate. We already have Zinke for heaven's sake.

Tester has proven his worth for the state. Now that the freedumb cacas have played their hand over the past two years and caused so many lawsuits over legislation, the voters are getting pretty fed up with them. Hopefully that will show this November. Montana has never been a solid red state so those who claim such don't know Montanans.

9. He has been active on social media for months

Talking about how he has represented Montana values.

[et tu]

10. tester is hard working

something that the rw extremists seem to lack~

16. Good deal. I have been worried about his chances in a Red State.

It ain't over, but looks like he is off to a good start.
