Daines Looks Strong in Montana

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Montana shows Rep. Steve Daines (R-MT) with pretty substantial leads over both possible Democratic challengers.

Daines leads John Bohlinger (D), 51% to 36%, and tops John Walsh (D), 52% to 35%.

Key findings: “But the number that may be most important to the US Senate race at this point is 34. That’s Barack Obama’s approval rating in the state, with 63% of voters disapproving of him. Only 31% of voters in the state support the Affordable Care Act to 58% opposed, and just 14% think the rollout of the ACA has been a success to 82% who think it’s been unsuccessful. 63% rate it as being ‘very unsuccessful.’ All of that is making it a tough start to the race for Democrats.”
