Dead Heat for Wisconsin Governor

A new Marquette Law School Poll finds that the Wisconsin governor’s race has tightened to a dead heat, with Gov. Scott Walker (R) and challenger Mary Burke (D) each receiving the support of 46% of registered voters, while 6% are undecided.

“Turnout in the fall election is likely to play an important role. While the race is tied among all registered voters, among likely voters–those who say they are absolutely certain to vote in November–Walker receives 48% to Burke’s 45%, which is inside the +/-3.5 percentage point margin of error for the poll.”
