A more fitting comparison is North Dakota in 2018, another race where Republican-leaning polls went unanswered. I recall some clever but ridiculous spin coming from Heitkamp backers in 2018 that counterpunched the polling showing Cramer leading without actually producing numbers that showed a different outcome. Tester's people have yet to stoop to that level of spin, which tells me they either don't plan to insult our intelligence or can't even find a starting point to base any possible spin about Tester's standing. I projected a double-digit Tester loss late last year and the tea leaves continue to point in that direction. It's impressive that he was able to defy gravity as long as he did.
