PPP: With Gary Johnson included Mitt's lead in Montana drops to three points...

Without Gary Johnson Mitt leads in Montana by five but if Johnson is included it falls to 3-points.

PublicPolicyPolling ?@ppppolls
When Gary Johnson is included in Montana he gets 7% and pulls Romney's lead down to 3 points at 46-43:

Never been a better situation for a libertarian, strong candidate and the libertarian leaning R's are fed up like never before. A lot of L leaners vote for the lesser of two evils and a lot of them no longer believe the Rs are.

7 points would shock me outside of NM but I expect Johnson to have the best third-party result since Perot.
