Gravis is a Republican pollster, too DeminPennswoods Jun 2018 #5
Their sample seems unrepresentative, tilted way toward the left. Jim Lane Jun 2018 #6

She’s the real deal. I hope she’s ready to battle the onslaught of Koch money that will flood the state. Tester is a favorite of veterans and I hope they come out in droves for him. I must say I’m shocked at how many Montanans are really disconnnected from politics and current events...it is disturbing.

In their sample:
Donald Trump 39%
Hillary Clinton 32%
Gary Johnson 6%
Jill Stein 7%
Did not vote 16%

Actual statewide votes in 2016:
Donald Trump 56%
Hillary Clinton 36%
Gary Johnson 6%
Jill Stein 2%

I don't see how the difference could be accounted for by the inclusion of the "Did not vote" option. In the sample, there were 122 Trump voters for every 100 Clinton voters. In the actual election, though, there were 157 Trump voters for every 100 Clinton voters. And, of course, Stein didn't come close to outpolling Johnson.
