Yesterday, the Great Falls Tribune placed a poll on their website asking about Montana Attorney General Mike McGrath’s decision not to investigate his good buddy, Governor Brian Schweitzer. Schweitzer was caught telling what he did in 2006 to rig the election for fellow Democrat, Jon Tester. In this poll, you can vote on-line or by telephone.

Here’s the question (notice the Tribune did not list McGrath’s name for some reason):

Do you agree with the state attorney general’s decision to deny requests for an investigation into Gov. Schweitzer’s comments?

Today the Tribune placed the results in their hardcopy edition. As far as I can tell, the results are not on-line. The final results show:

YES: 33%

NO: 67%

There were 932 votes. Of course these polls are not scientific, but as someone who follows these polls everyday, the number of people taking time to vote was pretty high for a Tribune poll.

So two-thirds of those voting did not like the fact that Attorney General Mike McGrath did not investigate his buddy, Governor Brian Schweitzer.

The Western Word also posted a poll a day before the Tribune poll. Although the number of people voting was less than the Tribune’s here are the question and the results:

Do you agree with Montana AG Mike McGrath’s decision not to investigate Governor Brian Schweitzer’s actions during the election of 2006?

YES: 4%

NO: 96%

One thing for sure, most folks don’t agree with McGrath’s decision, and I guarantee it won’t be going away anytime soon.
