GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Governor’s race is heating up with less than a month before the election and both leading candidates have been campaigning hard.
Both leading candidates in this November’s mid-term election for Governor, incumbent Republican Scott Walker, and Democratic challenger Tony Evers, have been in Green Bay this week pushing hard for support as the election is less than a month away.
UWGB Political Science Professor Aaron Weinschenk says Governor Walker should be concerned about recent poll numbers showing him trailing.
“That’s not a good sign if you’re Governor Walker and you see the person ahead of you slightly or dead even with you,” says Weinschenk.
The most recent Marquette Law School Poll shows Evers at 49 percent and Walker at 44 percent among likely voters.
History has shown those numbers will most likely draw closer.
“You tend to see things tighten up as the election gets closer,” explains Weinschenk.
Governor Walker was present in Brillion on Monday to witness a milestone in production at the Ariens Company and was also at the Green Bay Packers game on Sunday.
Tony Evers spoke at the Brown County Democrats Office in Green Bay on Tuesday.
Voters will decide between those two, and four third-party candidates on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
