PPP's numbers don't just look good for Dems in the Presidential race in Montana. Here's the rest of the races:Bullock 49%
Fox 44%
Undecided 7%
Lindeen 50%
Grimes 42%
Undecided 9%
McCulloch 47%
Johnson 46%
Undecided 7%
Juneau 49%
Herman 40% That's not all. Schweitzer is polling above 60%. Baucus is polling above 70% (!) (!!!!). Those numbers are huge.
One big cautionary note -- these races are close with large numbers of undecideds. And the partisan breakdown is far more favorable to Dems than exit polls have shown in recent years.
So this poll may be D biased. I'm not saying that it definitely is -- the fundamental partisan numbers of Montana could very well be shifting. Just don't take one poll as a sign from the heavens.
Final point -- that secretary of state's race is damn close. If Linda McCulloch pulls this one off, my guess is it will have a lot to do with the Secretary of State Project, which has put a lot of resources into that race, backed by polling from Celinda Lake. If McCulloch pulls off what may be the closest race in the state, it will probably be in large part due to SOS Project's work.
Among their efforts -- a radio ad featuring Sue Furey, Kevin's mother, talking about the voter challenges. |
