Considering Obama lost by 2 In 2008 this Isn't bad.It also helps explain Tester's up by 5 In
senate race.MT Is one state that has In past voted Republican on Presidental level and has
voted Democratic In other races.LAthough Romney's weakness as a candiate may have something
to do with It too.

It becomes a two-point race with Johnson. Nice!

I doubt he actually polls at 8% in November though.

Johnson hurts Romney more.Back In 2008 having Ron Paul on ballet took 2 percent of the vote
which likely came from Mccain.The only reason Clinton won MT In 1992 was the strong showing
Perot got.The question remains will people who have unfavorable view of romney really feel enthused to go out and vote for him.

Any chance of Ron Paul randomly ending up on the ballot again? That could be the deciding factor.

Wow, down only 5?! I always felt MT was a state that's always anti incubment and not really competitive for the Dems.
