Three-term Democratic Senator Jon Tester may be in trouble in Montana as a poll released Wednesday shows him trailing by six points to Republican challenger, Tim Sheehy.
Tester, who is facing a difficult re-election campaign in a state former President Donald Trump won by 16 points in 2020, is backed by 44.7% of likely Montana voters, while Sheehy had the support of 50.8%, according to a new survey from American Pulse Research and Polling. Nearly 4% of those polled indicated they were still undecided.
American Pulse conducted the poll of 538 likely Montana voters on behalf of NonStop LOCAL, a regional news network covering parts of Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
