MILWAUKEE – A new Marquette Law School survey of Wisconsin finds the races for U.S. Senate and Wisconsin governor remain tight, although the Republican candidates have improved their prospects.
In the poll released Wednesday, Sen. Ron Johnson is supported by 52% by likely voters and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is the choice of 46%. In September, among likely voters, Johnson received 49% and Barnes 48%. All vote results include undecided voters who lean to a candidate.
The governor’s race has tightened to a tossup: Among likely voters, 47% support Democrat incumbent Gov. Tony Evers, while 46% favor the Republican challenger, Tim Michels.
The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022. Information on how to vote can be found at MyVote.WI.gov.
The independent candidate, Joan Beglinger, is chosen by 4%, while 1% don’t know for whom they will vote. Beglinger ended her campaign on Sept. 6 but will remain on the November ballot.
In September, among likely voters, Evers received 47%, Michels 44%, and Beglinger 5%.
The survey was conducted Oct. 3-9, 2022, interviewing 801 Wisconsin registered voters, with a margin of error of +/-4.3 percentage points. The margin of error among the 652 likely voters is +/-4.8 percentage points. The poll completed 596 of these interviews prior to the debate between the U.S. Senate candidates on Oct. 7.
