Confirmed on their Twitter, Gravis WILL be releasing another poll before election day, they suggest it's likely to show the race tightening even further, perhaps even with Quist ahead.

They don't sound like they've started it yet, so that's just a prediction from them.

Actually we are going to try and release another one.  the guess is it's tightened

Not sure whether they have started it yet or not, I have asked on their Twitter whether they have any early samples in, they should reply soon.

Could it be that they're more worried about Montana just because the Montana race is sooner and therefore a more immediate concern?

I think it's more that both campaigns have effectively 'maxed out' in the GA 6. Like, if you have a Democratic campaign that's suspended direct voter contact operations because they've completely saturated the universe... how much more can either campaign do? Meanwhile, while PF has been spending a lot of money, and Quist has a decent warchest as well, there's still a lot more 'to do' for each campaign.

I also feel like there's more uncertainty in this race. I could see anything from about a 10-point win for Pianoforte to about a 7-point win for Quist.

Gianforte on donating to suspected white nationalist: 'I was unaware of some of his views'
Missoulian/JAYME FRASER

This story is in the Montana media today.  Apparently, Gianforte donated money to all Republican state house candidates last cycle, including one or two who the Southern Poverty Law Center and liberal Montana bloggers think are white nationalists. 

My views on the SPLC are fairly well known -for reasons better explained by this recent article in the Federalist, the SPLC is a partisan Democratic group masquerading as an anti-hate group whose word about things should not be taken at face value.  They tend to label all conservatives as hate groups.

The candidates Gianforte donated to were "diversity is code for white genocide" nutjobs. I know in some conservative circles that position is no longer taboo but to most normal people it's pretty racist.

Could it end up Quist wins by less than 1% and his win is so narrow it goes to a recount?

Source?  It says that nowhere in the article.   And if your source is the SPLC, as I said, I never take anything they claim at face value.  They're ultra-partisan Democratic actors who are like the boy who cried wolf.

Can Gianforte just behave himself for the next week? Doesn't he realize that if he loses, a BERNIECRAT gets elected? This is honestly getting a little scary.

Since you didn't respond last time -

Exactly. Knowing two different people who have worked on statewide Democratic campaigns in Montana, I've heard stories about canvassers driving 15-30 minutes between houses in the more rural parts of the state - and you have to do it because elections where the Democrat can win are usually won by razor-thin margins. I'm sure there's no way either campaign has reached saturation for anything besides TV, which happened (by Montana standards) a long time ago I'd bet.

I mean, by your logic, being Bernie Sanders' child means you're a socialist, regardless of political positions.

I dont think stuff like this hurts politicians anymore. It honestly seems like vague white supremacy is ''in'' these days in American politics.

Maybe I'm biased, but I think this stuff is going to hurt Gianforte more because he's the frontrunner.

There already are a number of Bernicrat's in Congress. That's a good thing.

Say what you want about him, but Bernie can fill a room pretty much anywhere in the United States.

I'm not a Sanders fan, but a Berniecrat is better than another vote for Trump and Ryan any day.
