MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The incumbents are ahead in the Wisconsin governor and U.S. Senate races, but it’s not by a wide margin.
Those are the results of the latest Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday. The poll shows Democratic Gov. Tony Evers leading Republican challenger Tim Michels 47%-44%, and Republican Sen. Ron Johnson leading Democratic challenger Mandela Barnes 49%-48% among likely voters.
Both results are within the poll’s 4.9% margin of error. The Senate race is a change from last month’s poll, when Barnes led Johnson 52%-45%. The governor’s race also tightened, compared to the 48%-44% margin among likely voters.
