Walker vs. Neumann – you make the call!

A few days ago, I posted a poll to see what readers thought of underdog Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake’s chances in the Republican U.S. Senate primary, and keeping in that same vein, here’s your chance to share your opinion of Republican gubernatorial underdog Mark Neumann’s chances of beating Scott Walker.

The top 10 most conservative states were lead by Wyoming, Mississippi and Utah; while the top 10 most liberal states were led by DC, RI & CT. [...]

What percentage of the vote will Dave Westlake get?

Even though there’s still a smidgen over three months left until general election day (with just a little over a month until the partisan primaries), I figured I’d post a quick poll to see what you think of Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave Westlake’s chances in the Republican U.S. Senate primary.

So about that recent Rasmussen poll

While Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ron Johnson and the Wisconsin GOP want to make a big deal of a recent Rasmussen poll that showed Johnson with a 47-46 lead over incumbent Sen. Russ Feingold, a recent University of Wisconsin Badger Poll paints a much different picture of the U.S. Senate race: Poll results released [...]

Ron Johnson’s not winning over those Tea Party folks after all…

The honeymoon between Republican U.S. Senate Ron Johnson, who at one point was considered the “Tea Party” candidate, and the state’s various Tea Party groups may be officially over. After Johnson had a really bad vetting session with the Rock River Patriots, he started avoiding the various Tea Party groups in the state like [...]

GOP Candidate for WI Senate Ron Johnson on “Producers vs. Parasitic Non-Producers”

I’m sitting here listening to the the rain while catching up on some reading about the major GOP candidates for Congress from WI. Somewhere along the way I missed this report from George Will on Ron Johnson, the GOP’s moneyed competitor to Russ Feingold. There are some very scary comments being made in this article that bear some analysis as his candidacy heats up. With Ron Johnson vowing to spend all of his money to win the campaign, Will had this to say about Johnson’s philosophy. What Samuel Johnson said of Milton’s “Paradise Lost” — “None ever wished it longer than it is” — some readers have said of “Atlas Shrugged.” Not Johnson, who thinks it is “too short” at 1,088 pages. Noting that Massachusetts “is requiring insurance companies to write polices at a loss,” he says, “We’re living it,” referring to the novel’s dystopian world in which society’s producers are weighed down by parasitic non-producers.

Rasmussen’s really strange poll

Apparently Rasmussen Reports has been doing some polling by phone here in Wisconsin (obviously not shocking, given that it’s an election year), and while some of the polling is pretty straightforward, asking about the possible matchups in the U.S. Senate race, and the possible matchups in the gubernatorial race, as well as asking opinions [...]

Poll: Americans want Democrats to control Congress after November elections

According to an Associated Press-GfK poll released on Saturday, Americans want Democrats to control Congress after this fall’s elections, which represents a shift from April. However, the margin of preference for Democrats is thin and there’s still a strong anti-incumbent mood throughout the nation, as only about one-third of those polled want their own [...]

Polls show Barrett closing the gap

New polling by Rasmussen shows a statistical dead-heat between Democratic gubernatorial nominee Tom Barrett and his Republican opponents, with Barrett steadily gaining ground while the the numbers of Republican Scott Walker continue to erode from the last poll taken by Rasmussen, which showed Walker with 49% support. This latest poll has Walker polling at [...]
