A new Marquette Law School Poll survey, conducted Oct. 3–9 in Wisconsin, shows a wider margin in the U.S. Senate race than a month ago and a closer race for governor. Among 801 Wisconsin registered voters, Sen. Ron Johnson is supported by 52% and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is the choice of 46% of those surveyed. Last month, Johnson received 49% and Barnes 48%. The governor’s race has tightened to a toss-up: Among likely voters, 47% support Democrat incumbent Gov. Tony Evers, while 46% favor the Republican challenger, Tim Michels. The independent candidate, Joan 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%.
