New poll puts Tester up by seven points
Pence will hold GOP rally in the Flathead on Monday
Sen. Jon Tester leads Matt Rosendale 48–41 percent according to a Harris Interactive poll released today. Conducted 25–31 October for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers & National Retail Federation, the poll was conducted partly during and after the synagogue murders in Pittsburgh and the pipe bomb attacks on high profile political critics of President Trump. The poll apparently used robocalls to sample 1,225 likely voters, and has a sampling margin of error of 2.8 percent. The latest plots are below.
The White House is launching a frenzied end of the campaign effort to save Rosendale and gin up the Republican base in Montana. President Trump will hold a rally in Bozeman on Saturday, his fourth agitation mission to Montana this year, and Vice President Mike Pence will hold a pep rally at Glacier International Airport in the Flathead on Monday, probably at Glacier International Airport. It will be Pence’s third stop in Montana this year.
