Tester's wins have always been squeakers here in MT, but polling trends are concerning. Two issues seem to be at play:
1) influx of people moving to MT seeking "redder" pastures in last several years, and 2) barrage of negative ads across media (people tuning out). Tester needs to up his game here. Rallies, more meet & greets, debate with Sheehy, campaign event with Tim Walz. Trying to 'do something' via LTEs & phone-banking.
I think both polls are wrong and that the race is very close.
Agree. Something stinks about the polling coming out of MT.
Something is rotten in the state of Montana.

I trust Tester as a campaigner and politician
I do too, but if polls reveal he's trailing, I hope his campaign can effectively respond. This isn't the Montana of 2018.
All the more reason to get Tester the support he needs.
