NBC News and Marist released new surveys from Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan on Thursday. They found Democrats leading by double digits in every Senate and governor’s race in those states. If true, Democrats can feel secure that they will retain three crucial Senate seats — including two in states Donald Trump won in 2016 — while also retaking two governor’s mansions currently held by Republicans in the 2018 midterms.
The key words there are “if true.” The Midwest was supposed to be Hillary Clinton’s “blue wall” in 2016, and polling showed her ahead; then Trump won several shocking victories on his way to the White House. So we have some reason to wonder about polling from the Midwest.
But first, the results:
Wisconsin governor: NBC/Marist found state school Superintendent Tony Evers running well ahead in a crowded Democratic primary, with 25 percent of the vote.
And in a head-to-head matchup with Republican Gov. Scott Walker, Evers had a huge 13-point lead: 54 percent to Walker’s 41 percent.
