[Mr. Morden]

PPP general election poll of Montana:

Clinton 42%

Ryan 51%
Clinton 44%

Rubio 46%

Ryan 49%
Schweitzer 45%

[Mr. Morden]

So is it largely just the South (and Alaska) where Clinton on the ballot would lead to a huge trend towards the Dems?  I guess we'll find out with more polling.

Also, big gender gap with Clinton as the Dem. nominee again (though actually a bit smaller than in many of the other recent polls), much smaller when Schweitzer's the hypothetical nominee:

men:

Rubio 55%
Clinton 37%

Rubio 48%
Schweitzer 45%

women:

Clinton 47%
Rubio 46%

Schweitzer 48%
Rubio 43%
