I don't have access to this poll, but apparently Rasmussen has the Montana race closing, at least for now. The number is still in the premium section, but Tester still leads 48-46 and 49-46 with leaners.  If this proves not to be the case, I'm sorry for the error.

If this is the case, it seems that Tester will need to start coming up with ways to implement an agenda rather than simply repeat the Lib-Dem talking points and making personal attacks on Burns/Bush.  I am not trying to rip into Tester, but if this poll is the real deal, he has flushed a sure thing down the toilet and made himself have to work a little for the win.

Tester managed to make it a "sure thing," as it certainly wasn't a "sure thing" at the beginning of this race, and this movement is well within MoE.  Rasmussen has been screwy this year anyway.

Provided that there is any value to this poll, Tester could be in real trouble. If Burns were to come back and win this, it would be the upset of the season.

One poll is, well....,  one poll...

Going from 50/44 to 48/46 in a poll with a sample size of 500 is soooooo far within the margin of error I'll call this statistical noise till we see another poll moving the same way.

One poll is, well....,  one poll...

Vorlon, are the Republicans doomed?  It's nice to hear from you again after two years.
