In reply to the discussion: Pls report in: how does the Senate race look in your state????? [View all]HereSince1628
(36,063 posts)75. Three days ago, MU poll had Fiengold and Johnson in a statistical tie in the multi-way
In Wisconsins U.S. Senate race, 46 percent of likely voters support Russ Feingold, 44 percent back Sen. Ron Johnson and 4 percent choose Libertarian candidate Phil Anderson. Five percent do not express a preference. In September, Feingold was supported by 44 percent, Johnson by 39 percent and Anderson by 7 percent, with 10 percent not giving a preference. https://law.marquette.edu/poll/
In the two-way Feingold's lead remains 2 percent.
Libertarians are a factor here. Wisconsin is getting a major push for Libertarian candidates, and they're having some success as Johnson is doing better in WI than his national avg. In the end, these polls my not reflect their 'stop the Dems from taking the Senate' attitude. If that thinking gets the better of the 'Never Trumpers' the senate race is going to be a nail-biter.
