(R)asmussen Reports: WI Senate--Johnson 51% Feingold 44% [View All]

[WI_DEM]

(Now I live in WI and am doing my bit for Russ, but I don't discount that Russ is behind. Maybe not by 7-points, but Johnson is on TV all the time with a mix of positive and attack ads. Russ's ads are not nearly as frequent and when they are on they are lackluster/boring for the most part. Furthermore, Russ should be defining Johnson as a tea party supporter and yet his ads have yet to do that. Of all the incumbent dems running I'm most worried about Feingold).


After a decisive win in Tuesday’s Republican Primary, businessman Ron Johnson now holds a seven-point lead over incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold in Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Johnson picking up 51% support, while Feingold earns the vote from 44%. One percent (1%) of voters prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) remain undecided.

Johnson is backed by 94% of Republicans in Wisconsin, while 86% of the state's Democrats support Feingold. Johnson holds a nearly two-to-one lead among voters not affiliated with either major political party

Johnson is viewed favorably by 61% of Wisconsin voters and unfavorably by 33%. Those numbers include 29% who view the Republican Very Favorably and 19% who view him Very Unfavorably.

Feingold’s ratings are 51% favorable, 46% unfavorable. One-in-three voters (32%) shares a Very Favorable opinion of the longtime senator, while 28% view him Very Unfavorably.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of voters in Wisconsin approve of the job President Obama is doing, and the identical nubmer (49%) disapprove.

(PPP, I believe will be polling WI this weekend, so it will be interesting to see what their results are).
