Dead Heat In Montana

October 12, 2020 · 9:02 am ET · Leave a Comment

A new Public Policy Polling survey in Montana finds Steve Bullock (D) and Sen. Steve Daines (R) tied at 48% in the U.S. Senate race.

“Beyond that, they have nearly identical approval ratings for their work in their current offices. Bullock has a net +4 rating as Governor, with 48% approving and 44% disapproving of the job he’s doing. Daines has a net +4 rating as Senator, with 47% approving and 43% disapproving of the job he’s doing.”

In the presidential race, Donald Trump leads Joe Biden by 52% to 46%, a lead far less the 20-point win he notched over Hillary Clinton four years ago.
