Marquette Law School Poll finds Sen. Ron Johnson up by six
hotair.com ^ | 10/12/22 | John Sexton

A poll released today by Marquette Law School finds Sen. Ron Johnson up six points among likely voters over his Democratic rival Mandela Barnes.

Among likely voters, Sen. Ron Johnson is supported by 52% and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is the choice of 46%. In September, among likely voters, Johnson received 49% and Barnes 48%. All vote results include undecided voters who lean to a candidate.

Over the past two months the likely voter results for the two candidates have basically reversed themselves. In August Barnes was up 52-45. In the current poll Johnson is up 52-46.

Looking at the breakdown by party it looks like the majority of that change has come from Independents who supported Barnes by a wide margin (55-40) in August but who are now supporting Johnson by six points (51-45). Barnes has also seen some weakening among his Democratic support. He was at 99% in August and is now down to 93%.

So it’s looking like David’s prediction Monday that Sen. Jonson is going to win this handily is starting to show up in the polling. FiveThirtyEight has Johnson up 2.9 points as of today (including the results of the Marquette poll). RealClear Politics has Johnson up an almost identical 2.8 points.

The marquette poll skews liberal, so 52-46 johnson is probably even better than reported.

It will be interesting to see if the Dems start pulling funds from Wisconsin and redirecting them to places like AZ and NH, a sure sign that they know Johnson will win.

Why is a law school conducting a political poll? I can understand a political science department, or a statistics department, but how the hell does political polling relate to studying law?

I don’t even trust an MU poll that shows Johnson ahead.

Wait for the last one they do before the election because that’s when they actually try to hit it properly and hope everyone forgets the skewed ones they provided for the months previous.

That being said Barnes is getting destroyed now that the electorate is paying attention to his actual track record.

Add that to Evers and the parole of violent criminals scandal and trying to block the release of info and as said above in a previous post.

Trend is our friend.

I can’t answer your question, but they have been doing this for a long time.

As the article stated, the Marquette poll had Barnes up by 7 in August. The same polling outfit now has Johnson up by 6. A remarkable turnaround.

This trend toward R appears to be nationwide, not just in WI.

WI still has a majority of normies.

There is no WAY Johnson loses to Jesse ‘Mandela’ Barnes.

None whatsoever. :)

FWIW, my Great Grandfather, Arthur Jennings, was the Dean of Dentistry at Marquette University back in the day. I was in possession of his medical bag and ‘torture tools’ until I donated them to the school for their Historians after my Grandma, his daughter, passed.

Pretty good for a first generation German Jew. ;)

(And, I have the good teeth to prove it, LOL!)

Johnson for the WIN! :)

Barnes is getting hammered on crime in campaign ads...a template of how it should be done nationwide.

With or without ballot stuffing.

Without it, he’s up by 12.

Good to hear. Barnes is trying to recruit Obama to come to Wisconsin and give him a hand. And then the Journal Sentinal just published a scathing editorial about Johnson that is headlining today. Folks, this is not a done deal.
