Politics
President George W. Bush won Montana in the 2004 Presidential election with 59.1% of the vote, beating John Kerry by 20 percentage points, which indicates that the district leans Republican. However, there is a significant Democratic presence in the state: as of 2006 the Governor's office, the state Senate, and both U.S. Senate seats are controlled by the Democrats, which should make the district competitive if Rehberg were to retire from office.
Early at-large district
From statehood in 1889, until the creation of geographic districts in 1919, Montana was represented in the United States House of Representatives by members elected at-large. From 1913 to 1919, in fact, there were two seats, still elected at-large. In the reapportionment following the 1990 census Montana lost one of its two seats, and its remaining member was again elected at-large.
