The Democrats have the lead in Wisconsin’s biggest races heading into the fall.
The latest Marquette Law School Poll released yesterday gives Tony Evers a slight, two-point lead over Republican Tim Michels in the race for governor. The poll gives Democrat Mandela Barnes a seven point lead over Republican Ron Johnson in the race for U.S. Senate. Evers’ lead is in the poll’s margin of error. Marquette pollsters say the Democrats lead with voters who think the candidates represent them, but said that could change as the campaigns ramp-up toward the November election.
