Independent poll paints challenging outlook for Gov Judge
Independent pollster Larry Williams reports Republican Robert Woodahl leading Democrat Thomas L. Judge 54 to 37 percent in a Montana governor vote. The survey cites Judge’s unreported 1972 contributions and doubts about travel expense figures, with 76 percent doubting the $110 travel claim. Williams funded the poll himself, surveying 380 homes with a 37 percent response. Woodahl reportedly faced a credibility issue among respondents.
