Poll: Ron Johnson widens lead over Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin Senate race
Politico ^ | 10/12/2022 | Kelly Garrity

Incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is widening the gap over his Democratic challenger, Mandela Barnes, in Wisconsin’s Senate race, a new poll from Marquette Law School found.

The poll, whose results were released on Wednesday, has Johnson racking up support of 52 percent of likely voters, compared with Barnes’ 46 percent. The results are a jump from September, when polls showed Johnson polling just 1 percentage point ahead of Barnes, but are still within the survey’s margin of sampling error. Barnes has seen a decline in the polls over recent months after facing a slew of attack ads depicting him as soft on crime.

This race was never close.
It was just the usual fake polls from fake news pretending it was close so Mandela Barns could raise even more money. Nothing new there.

Has Mandela Barnes figured out whether or not he completed a college degree? Here’s a hint - he has not, despite what he claimed in his Lt. Gov. campaign. Lack of integrity like that is typically fatal in a statewide campaign. After taking office, Alabama A&M found a way to resolve the shortfall in credits and gave him the degree that he never actually completed.

He goes down hard and is never elected again to any office in Wisconsin.

The biggest issue in Wisconsin is the governors race. That determines whether election laws will be followed. I hope this support for Johnson translates to support for Michaels.

Yep. Sure seems odd that all of the high profile races in the country are neck and neck in polling and start widening 3 weeks out

If Ron Johnson now has a 6pt lead over Barnes, and then Barnes “wins” after the count is completed days later. Gee, that wouldn’t look suspicious.

I think even some Dem voters would say...”What?”

Yup.
Fake news up to their usual tricks.

Marist has the NY governor Hochul leading her GOP challenger, Zeldin, by 8 points among likely voters. In 2014, Marist overestimated Cuomo’s margin among likely voters by 12 points.

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/marist-college/

Given how unsettled the crime and inflation situation are, Marist’s margins of error among LV’s may have blown out in NY state by way over 12 points. Marist is showing a Hochul win by 8 points among likely voters. It would not surprise me if Zeldin won by way over 4 points. A 10-point Zeldin win would crush downticket Democrats.

Ron has gotten money from me not as much as Mastriano here in PA or Ammon Bundy in Idaho, but I have supported at least one “Mainstream Republican” backed by Mitch and the Gang.

Ron got my money for allowing those injured by the COVID vaccines to join him on Capitol Hill.

Surprised they weren’t run out as “insurrectionists”.

Barnes makes Obama look statesmanlike.

What worries me is that the Democrats will now be emboldened after 2020.

They literally got caught red-handed on camera stealing an election - and faced zero consequences, legal or political.

The only people at risk for going to jail are those who challenge the results, protest the theft or, Heaven forbid, express anger over what happened.

Not just the fake news media, but also our entire judicial system and law enforcement has come down squarely on the side of the cheaters - protecting THEM against We The People, who have been framed as the insurrectionists!

Why wouldn’t they do it again, knowing in advance that the fix is in?

Wouldn’t you be better served to go back and troll on the Ukraine Invasion threads and stay out of US politics?

Wisconsinites are as fed up with Socialists as the rest of the Nation.

Johnson will win this. You can take it to the bank. Jesse Barnes offers nothing. NOTHING.

Yes, Dane & Milwaukee Counties will vote for him, but the rest of the state is FILLED with Deplorables. :)
