A new poll by the North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling shows Obama up by 1 percentage point in what is the most recent poll taken in Montana. I can’t verify the accuracy of this polling firm, as this election has introduced me to all sorts of polling organizations I’ve never heard of before, so take these results with a grain of salt. But I will note that this poll does take into account votes for Ron Paul. I’m convinced any poll in Montana that does not ask specifically about Ron Paul is not providing an accurate depiction of the Republican electorate in this state. Anyway, here are their findings in Montana. For full results, check their Web site here.
