Ron Paul gets 4%. One thing working to Obama’s definite advantage is that he has banked a 61-35 lead with those who have already voted. John McCain is up 53-40 with people who plan to vote on election day.Each candidate is receiving over 90% support from voters within his own party. Obama’s lead comes by virtue of his 48-40 advantage with independent voters in the state.
Obama is also getting a boost from a 54-41 edge with voters under the age of 30. “I’m not sure anyone expected Montana to be one of the races the nation would be watching on election night,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “But strong support from independents and young people could allow Barack Obama to pull off a big upset in the state.”
Several races where no upsets are in the offing are those for Governor, Senate, and Congress from Montana. Brian Schweitzer is leading 62-36 in his quest for reelection, Max Baucus is up by an even more dominant 71-26 total, and Denny Rehberg leads 60- 35.
