HELENA — A new poll from Montana State University shows Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock leading Republican Sen. Steve Daines by seven percentage points in Montana’s high-profile 2020 U.S. Senate contest.

The online poll, which surveyed 738 Montanans in mid-to-late April, asked registered, likely voters who they would support, if the election for Senate were held now. Just over 46% said they’d choose Bullock and 39% supported Daines.

Seven percent said they were undecided, while another 6 percent said they would vote for someone else. A Libertarian and Green Party candidate also are on the ballot.

David Parker, the chair of the political science department at MSU-Bozeman, said the poll confirms that the Bullock-Daines contest will be a close, hard-fought race – one of the most-watched Senate matchups in the nation.

“I think it’s certainly reasonable to assume that the race is probably within the margin of error and too close to call,” he told MTN News. “So, while we show a lead (for Bullock), it’s within the margin of error, so I would say, yeah, this is a competitive Senate race.”

2. If Tester can keep winning tough races a super popular governor should too.

Daines is a back bencher, at best.

9. Sounds too good to be true.

10. It's not

Jon Tester narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Conrad Burns for his first term in '06 and he had far less name recognition and goodwill than Bullock. However, Montana has become far more partisan in the past 14 years and the crazy right wing far more entrenched. It will be a heavy lift without a doubt. Daines is not particularly popular though.

11. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

I've been waiting for national punditoids to recognize that this is not some second or third-tier race. It's a first-tier race with a stunningly fantastic candidate for the Dems against a backbenching do-nothing Senator. Nice to see this poll!!!!
