## Resource

Kurt Alme leads Seth Bodnar by eight points in Montana’s Senate race, but the battle is far from over. New polling shows Alme at 38% and Bodnar climbing to 30%, with Democrats surprisingly backing the independent—and some even urging the official Democratic nominee to drop out. Independents, Montana’s largest voting bloc, are also leaning toward Bodnar. While older voters strongly favor Alme, Trump supporters are split, and Bodnar’s momentum suggests this tight race could shift before election day.
