Voters across Wisconsin will get one last chance to see the candidates for U.S. Senate on the same stage at the same time.
Tonight is the second, and likely final, U.S. Senate debate. Republican Senator Ron Johnson and Democratic Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes will answer questions on Milwaukee TV tonight, but the debate will be streamed and broadcast across the state.
When it comes to a peek at the polls, Wisconsin’s race for U.S. Senate is becoming lopsided while the race for governor is essentially tied according to the latest Marquette Law School Poll. The poll, released yesterday, gives Republican U.S.Senator Ron Johnson a six point lead over Democrat Mandela Barnes. Last month that was a one point lead.
The poll gives Governor Evers a one point lead over Republican Tim Michels, but that lead is well within the poll’s margin of error. Pollsters say independent voters in Wisconsin are breaking toward the Republican candidates, and that’s what is tipping the scales. Voters will cast their ballots in about three weeks.
