The Lee Newspaper poll was done by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc. of Washington, D.C between May 19-21. Pollsters interviewed by telephone 625 registered Montana voters who all said they regularly vote in Montana elections. The survey includes an over-sampling of 400 likely Democratic voters for the presidential primary question. The Democratic primary portion of the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
Obama: 52%Clinton: 35%
Undecided: 13%
"Looking closer at the Democratic poll primary results, Obama leads Clinton among every subgroup except in Eastern Montana.
Obama is ahead of Clinton among men by 58 percent to 33 percent, and among women by 48 percent to 36 percent, the poll showed. Voters under age 50 favor Obama over Clintonby 56 percent to 30 percent, while those 50 and older back Obama 49 percent to 39 percent, it showed. The rest are undecided. In the 18 counties in western Montana, Obama holds a commanding 62 percent-to-25 percent lead over Clinton, the poll showed. These counties include Gallatin, Flathead, Lewis and Clark, Missoula, Ravalli and Silver Bow.
Clinton leads Obama 47 percent to 40 percent in the 38 counties designated as Eastern Montana in the poll. These counties include Cascade and Yellowstone.
“Obviously, Obama is the favorite,” said Brad Coker, managing director of Mason-Dixon Polling & Research. “We’re seeing the same patterns (in Montana) we’re seeing elsewhere. His strength is with male voters and voters under 50. Clinton does better but still trails with voters over 50 and with women.”
