Today's Map: Montana Moves from "Too Close To Call" to "Leaning Republican"

Posted Sep 09, 2008 at 4:21 PM by Maurice Berger

PollTrack just had a sneak preview of new polling numbers from Montana. It appears that the RNC and Sarah Palin are, at least for now, significantly improving McCain's numbers in a state that usually votes Republican in presidential cycles (though Bill clinton won the state in 1992, in part because independent candidate Ross Perot siphoned off a considerable number of Republican and libertarian voters unhappy with incumbent George H. W. Bush but unwilling to support the Democrat).

PollTrack now moves Montana from "Too Close To Call" to "Leaning Republican"
