  1. I know a decent amount about polling (more than your average politically-aware person) and I’m floored by the Montana poll wording. It would make sense to have six categories (male, retired; male, working; male, staying at home; same for women). That enables you to see which messages appeal to which groups. Very often, you want to shore up your weak spots, and if a Republican candidate is weak among working women, he will choose the ad that appeals the most to them or turns them off the least. But part of that is that people not know that they aren’t trying to find out how, eg, SAHMs view the ad.

    1. Those at home due to disability vs those who are at home taking care of the family full time are very different demographics.

  2. Ooof. I just moved to Montana and haven’t really gotten a feel for it yet. There’s a lot less overt MAGA stuff (flags, bumper stickers, t-shirts) than where I came from but a some local Republican candidate/issue signs. Don’t know yet if that’s proxy MAGA or just a focus on local issues. There’s overall less political messaging of all persuasions out and about than what I’m used to seeing, so far.
