A lot of focus has been on presidential candidates, and that’s not without reason; the race for the big chair does tend to take all the oxygen out of the room. But if Donald Trump does manage to Grover Cleveland himself into a non-consecutive second term, he’ll need a friendly House and Senate to get much of anything done. A new poll of Montana residents by Public Opinion Strategies is indicating that the GOP might be flipping that Senate seat in November:

This survey has Republican Tim Sheehy leading incumbent Democrat Jon Tester by a pretty wide margin, 51 percent to 44 percent. The Republican candidates for Governor and Attorney General are leading by even wider margins. The previous such surveys also had Sheehy maintaining a comfortable lead, according to Real Clear Politics data:
- Rasmussen Reports, 8/13-8/20: Sheehy +5
- KULR-TV (NBC), 8/10-8/12: Sheehy +7
- The Hill/Emerson, 8/5-8/6: Sheehy +2
- Remington Research: 6/29-7/1: Sheey +5That looks like the odds for a Republican pickup in Montana are pretty good. And this race, like every possible Senate seat pickup, is critical in gaining Republican control of the upper chamber.
As far as the presidential race goes, the last time Montana gave its Electoral College votes to a Democrat was in 1992, in Bill Clinton’s first victory. As of this writing, in Montana, Donald Trump is ahead of Kamala Harris, in the latest Real Clear Politics polling average, by 19 points, 56.5 to 37.5. That translates to “safe Republican.”
There are some other interesting tidbits in the Public Opinion Strategies poll. First, the direction of the state:
First of all, generally speaking, would you say that things in Montana are going in the right direction, or have they pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track?
34% Right Direction
58% Wrong Track
6% Don’t Know
2% Refused
