However, among those polled who said that they had an opinion of both, Green leads Doyle by 10 percentage points.

Fuzzy math, liberal MSM is noted for this!
A lot of people still don't know enough about Mark Green to form an opinion, apparantly. Among the general population, Doyle leads Green by 12 percent. But among those who have actually heard enough about Green, Green leads by 10 percent. That means Doyle is screwed, and that it will become apparant within a few months.
Keep in mind that he would have lost easily to Scott McCallum had Ed Thompson not stuck his nose in the race.
A governor has more visibility than a Congressman. My guess is, there are people in Wisconsin who are unfamiliar with Green who are familiar with Doyle. At the same time, there are people who know of both. When they segregate the results to include only people who have heard of both, Green is winning, when they include all people, Doyle is winning. Which suggests that if this Green person could increase his visibility, he'd have a shot.
So his lead is entirely on the strength of his incumbency?
He's a donk, so you have to factor in the cheerleading of the media.
Yep, Eddie got the northern tavern crowd to vote for him and screwed us all in the process.
