Senator Jon Tester, a Democrat from Montana, has a 5-point lead over his Republican challenger Tim Sheehy in a crucial 2024 Senate election, a new poll shows.

A Napolitan News Service survey of 540 registered voters in Montana found that the incumbent was ahead of the Republican by 49 percent to 44 percent in what the polling group called the "most important Senate race" of the 2024 elections.

The outcome of November's Senate race in Montana, a state Donald Trump won by 16 points in 2020, could end up determining which party controls the upper chamber.

Trump leads Harris 53-35 in Montana. Click here for the full results.
