Democrat Jon Tester widened his lead against Republican Sen. Conrad Burns in a poll released Wednesday.
Tester led 46 percent to Burns' 35 percent, with a majority of respondents saying the incumbent's ties to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff were an issue in the campaign.
Only 14 percent of poll respondents said they didn't think the Abramoff scandal was an issue.
The poll, conducted by the Montana State University-Billings political science department, sampled 409 registered voters by telephone Oct. 10-12 and Oct. 14-15. It has a margin of error of 5 percentage points.
