Montana Senate Race Polls Show Mixed Results

Montana's upcoming Senate race between incumbent Democrat Jon Tester and Republican challenger Tim Sheehy is highly contested, with varying poll results. A Napolitan News Service survey shows Tester leading by 5 points, while multiple polls commissioned by NonStop Local and conducted by American Pulse Research and Polling indicate Sheehy has a 6-point lead. Key issues influencing voters include the economy, inflation, immigration, and abortion, with Sheehy reportedly favored on all these fronts. Tester's supporters argue the polls are inaccurate and emphasize his record on veterans' affairs and lowering costs for working families. The race is considered crucial for determining Senate control, given the Democrats' current slim majority.
