Internal polling done through the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee shows Tranel and Zinke neck-and-neck.

The polling was conducted during the last two weeks of August - before Sheehy had a slew of negative news including a false claim of training in Glacier National Park, questionable business decisions, and making disparaging comments about the Crow people.

After the 2020 census, Montana earned a second U.S. House seat, and Zinke won the western Congressional district in 2022. He took 49.6% of the vote, Tranel took 46.5%.
