MT-PPP: Sen. Tester (D) leads a few Republicans, trails a few others

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Rehberg has always struck me as a guy who's just kind of there; he's never had to run a tough race in his life (he was appointed Lt. Governor, and even for his first term in the House the Democrats put a nobody up), so he might not want to risk going up against a strong opponent. He could always just wait until 2014, since Baucus looks like an easier target at this point (plus Baucus might just retire).

Don't forget this is a registered voter poll, so the Republicans would probably do about 5 points better than this in an actual election

Well, that didn't take long.

Rehberg was the 1996 nominee against Baucus.

Missed that. Oh well, never mind.
