MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The final Marquette University Law School poll of the midterm election cycle shows a dead heat in the race for Wisconsin Governor, while the the lead of Republican incumbent US Senator, Ron Johnson, has widened over his Democratic challenger.
Among likely voters, 47% said they support incumbent Democrat Tony Evers for governor, while 46% support Republican challenger Tim Michels. That’s within the poll’s 4.8-percentage-point margin of error.
In September, the numbers were 47% for Evers and 44% for Michels.
It’s a different story in Wisconsin’s US Senate Race.
Incumbent Republican Ron Johnson has widened his lead over Democratic challenger Mandela Barnes to greater than the margin of error. The latest poll showed Johnson ahead 52%-46% among likely voters.
That’s a jump from September, when Johnson’s lead was 49%-48%.
The poll of 801 registered voters was conducted Oct. 3-9. That included 652 who identified themselves as likely voters.
Election day is Nov. 8.
