Wisconsin poll underscores the challenges for two incumbents, Gov. Tony Evers and Ron Johnson

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Amid a national slump in his popularity, President Joe’s Biden’s approval rating has dipped in Wisconsin as well, dropping from 49% in August to 43% in a statewide poll by the Marquette University Law School released Wednesday.

But it isn’t only Biden drawing negative or declining ratings in this battleground state a year before the 2022 midterms.

Approval for Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is down from 50% in August to 45% in the new poll. Asked if they would vote to reelect him or vote for someone else, 40% said "reelect" and 53% said "someone else."

Meanwhile, views are negative toward the leading Republican in Wisconsin, Sen. Ron Johnson, whose seat will be on the ballot next year: 36% viewed him favorably, 42% unfavorably and the rest didn't know. That is basically unchanged from August. But Marquette has polled on Johnson nearly 50 times since 2012, and he has received his highest negatives in the last two surveys.

Just 38% said they would vote to reelect Johnson, while 52% said they would vote for someone else.

1. Colin Kaepernick is from Wisconsin

I think Wisconsin can get behind him, don't y'all think?

2. Good grief no. No more celebrities

8. He is an activist and gave up

his $$$$$$ job for his beliefs. That is enough for me.

3. Are you...um...serious?

[Mary in S. Carolina]

9. Yep

He is an activist and had the courage to put his belief system for the whole world to see and ended up losing his job. He has more courage than most people let alone poiticians.

10. I live in Wisconsin

True, Colin spent a part of his life in Wisconsin. But seriously, no one here considers him to be a Wisconsinite.

He would never be in play in the rural areas here. To consider him a serious candidate would be a serious leap of faith.

4. RoJo's at 36% approval?

But notice how his name doesn't come up when the national media are looking at incumbents in trouble?

5. I don't think he has committed either way.

Though it might be preferable that he does run with that kind of approval rating.

6. He hasn't announced if he will run for reelection.

But every profile of vulnerable senators up in 2022 that I’ve read has included him.

7. They're waiting until he declares either way

And waiting to see if the Dems run a viable candidate.
