In Pennsylvania, 54% of voters disapprove of Obama’s job performance. In Montana, it’s 55%. We should win this state as well, and Mitt wins it by twice the margin Santorum does. There’s a Governor race and a Senate race up here this time.
Let’s get some leadership at the top!

When I see polls like this, it just reinforces my theory that Obama’s support is greatly overstated. Bush won Montana in 2004 with a total of around 60% of the vote, and 2004 was considered a competitive election.
The eventual Republican nominee will win Montana by at least 15 points, and will also have coattails to net the GOP a Senate seat.

I live in Montana and if they would have called me, I would of course upped the Romney vote. I don’t answer calls from 800 numbers though… Last time it was Romney all the way, but it was a caucus vote. This time it will be a primary vote and it is one of the last states to vote in June. Bummer. I have 9 people in my work place and I think I have them all converted to Romney. My boss road the roller coaster from Romney to Trump to Romney to Cain to Romney to Gingrich to Romney finally, which is where he is finally happy…I hope.
