Final PPP survey of WI--Barrett within 3 points of Walker

improvement from their last poll which had Walker up 50-45, it's now Walker 50-47. Barrett leads by two points among indies, but according to PPP GOP voters are more excited to vote than Dems--we'll see about that. Men favor Walker, women favor Barrett. Now, this poll was totally done by land line, no cell phone users. I, for one, only have cell phone as do many of my friends.

Barrett has a 46/46 favorability rating, improved from 43/46 on our first poll after the primary. He's winning with women (52/46), minorities (58-36), young voters (53-39), those in Milwaukee County (61-35), and ones in greater Madison (59-37).

This is a close race, closer than it was a couple weeks ago. Scott Walker's still the favorite but Barrett's prospects for an upset look better than they have in a long time.


PPP says it will come down to turnout. Indeed it will.
