New Poll Shows Sheehy Opening Wider Lead Over Tester in Montana

Navy SEAL vet Tim Sheehy is topping 50% in a new Montana poll following the Trump Rally in Bozeman Friday night.

According to a new poll just released by "NonStop Local" TV news stations here in Montana, Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy (R-MT) now leads Democrat Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) 51% to 45%.

According to NonStop Local, "Sheehy’s favorable ratings are 49.8% while Tester’s stand at 44.7." Sheehy also clearly has the lead when it comes to the economy and check out these numbers on the Southern Border: "In terms of immigration, 56.2% of voters said Sheehy would do a better job compared to Tester at 39%."

Wake Up Montana's Bradley Warren shared the graphic in the below tweet on X:

Sheehy spokesman Jack O'Brien gave us this statement in response to the new poll: "It's clear Tim is winning the ground war by traveling from town to town across Montana, looking Montanans in the eye, and sharing his commonsense agenda to defeat inflation, bring down costs, seal our border, fight for Montana families, and put America First! But, if we're going to win this race in November and finally retire Jon Tester, who is the number-one recipient of lobbyist cash, it will take every one of us working together to save our country.”

(FYI: Tester has consistently refused to respond or join us on the radio taking phone calls from Montanans)

Here's what I said earlier in the week before these poll numbers came out:  

Chuck Schumer and Jon Tester have thrown millions and millions of dollars attacking Navy SEAL veteran Tim Sheehy. So why is he still up in the polls? We asked the GOP Senate candidate that question and more from the floor of the Trump Rally in Bozeman. (Click Here for Full Interview)

Sheehy (R-MT) is also an aerial firefighter who is challenging Democrat Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) in the 2024 election.

Aaron Flint: "They have thrown everything at you. And yet, a survivor, you're still out in the polls. You've gained with the undecideds at three times the rate that Tester has, pretty remarkable. When you think about it, Tester's- no wonder he's hiding out scared right now."

Tim Sheehy: "Yeah. I mean, he's not out here shaking 1000's of hands in a day. He's not going town to town, four or five six towns in a day like we are, shaking hands and holding open town halls. Because that's what we're doing. Because we got nothing to hide. He has to hide his voting record. He has to hide the fact that he's voted in rubber stamp for the Biden Harris agenda every single time in the last three and a half years. And that- what's that agenda led to? Record high gas prices, record inflation, record illegal immigration, record crime. I mean, the list goes on. They have generated a structurally weaker America, and they've done it intentionally, and Jon Tester has been there every step of the way."
