With millions being poured into the MT Senate race from both parties, you'd think they'd invest in some quality polling. As a Montanan, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around Tester being -8 in the most recent, questionable R-sponsored poll.

I guarantee you that both campaigns are polling constantly

Why are you having trouble with that? He's been pretty consistently behind, and it hasn't been that close. Regardless of the limitations of the polls, I'm beginning to think it should possibly be a likely-R race, and I won't be surprised if Sabato re-rates it that way.

I share a similar sentiment tho I guess I can agree that Tester may be down by as much as 8. My bigger gripe tho is the status quo now seems to be we're flooded with either overly partisan and/or suspect and flawed polls, meanwhile reputable pollsters, nonpartisan or otherwise have become a sparse commodity. Take the Atlas polls yesterday, they had numbers as wonky as Harris down with women but up with men in Michigan and Arizona. I guess this is our reality now.

It's best to wait for the reputable pollsters; like the Marquette poll belowЁЯСЗЁЯСЗЁЯСЗ
