Voters lose with no governor debate

If you're to believe the latest polling on Montana's gubernatorial election, it's the incumbent's race to lose.  

According to a Public Opinion Strategies poll conducted Aug. 18-20, Gov. Greg Gianforte holds a 19-point advantage over Democratic challenger Ryan Busse. If that margin is accurate and holds, it would outpace the nearly 13-point margin Gianforte secured in his 2020 win over former Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney.  

It should be noted that the poll was sponsored by the Montana Republican Party, and that polls have been known to be wrong before (ahem, 2016).
