Last Friday, Flathead Memo reported on the recent Gravis Marketing poll that shows Amanda Curtis gaining on Steve Daines. I learned about the poll from a comment on Curtis’ Facebook page. Today I received from Curtis’ campaign a press release announcing the poll:
New poll shows Amanda Curtis gaining on Congressman Daines
(BUTTE, Mont.) — A new poll released over the weekend shows Amanda Curtis gaining ground on Congressman Steve Daines.
The new Gravis poll of 535 likely Montana voters shows Amanda has narrowed the gap by seven points from when she entered the race as a political newcomer just seven weeks ago.
“This poll shows that when Montanans get to know Amanda, they prefer her plan to support working families over an out-of-touch millionaire politician who thinks we should balance the budget on the backs of seniors, students and veterans,” said Curtis’ campaign manager Clayton Elliott. “Everywhere we go folks are excited for a chance to send one of us to the U.S. Senate on November 4.”
Full poll results are available online HERE.
If Curtis’ public relations people read her Facebook page more carefully, they wouldn’t embarrass themselves — and her — by announcing on a Monday that a poll that was reported three days before, on Friday, was released over the subsequent weekend.
