In Wisconsin, Ron Johnson has taken a narrow lead over Mandela Barnes

[Poiuyt]

In the Senate race, Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson was at 49% among likely voters, compared with his challenger, Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, who was at 48%.

Johnson made up a lot of ground after the August primary, as independent voters shifted from a strong Barnes advantage in August to a narrow lead for Johnson in the September survey.

In the run for governor, Evers held a narrow advantage over Republican businessman Tim Michels.

Evers was at 47% among likely voters while Michels was at 44%. Independent Joan Beglinger, who has dropped out of the race, was at 5%.

Lots of stupid people here.

[TheRealNorth]

Which sometimes works in WI.

4. I just don't understand why people vote against their own interests

[WhiskeyGrinder]

10. People do vote for their own interests. You just have to know what those interests are.

[Tetrachloride]

5. DNC not doing much. Same as 2016.

[a kennedy]

25. Senator Shumer did give 1.5 million to the Barnes campaign.

[Tetrachloride]

26. the campaign needs the All Stars to show up

and STAY.

Don’t treat Wisconsin like a flyover.

7. This guy is a train wreck. What in hell do they see in Johnson?

[Marcus IM]

9. Themselves. n/t

[Emile]

19. That has to be the answer!

8. Mind boggling. Johnson - seriously cheeseheads???

18. Unfortunately, like many states, WI has a lot of chud areas...

...western WI in particular. You can drive through and see miles of farm fields with crappy hand-painted signs festooned with thought-terminating clichés that date to the Bircher era. A lot of the upper Midwest is like that. Even ultra-blue states like MN have some real chud country. Michelle Bachmann had an unbelievably gerrymandered district that had this dog-leg appendage which looked like it skipped from side to side of a street, house by house. And an unfortunate number of these people vote.

21. I live in N Florida - the panhandle is 'flat Appalachia' for the most part.

23. There is a well-known saying attributed to James Carville...

...between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, you've got Alabama. A lot of states are like that.

11. Only if you believe that blacks and 18-29 year olds are voting R by a 30 pt margin

The crosstabs for that poll completely deligitimizes it.

[GreenWave]

20. A nice retort!

[Scrivener7]

12. This is a really important one. I'll donate.

[gab13by13]

14. I don't believe in polls,

no one ever asked me.

[Zambero]

15. A statistician once said

If he had never been contacted for a specific public opinion poll, the results of said poll would likely be valid. The population sample size and demographic representation are important. The manner of questioning as well, as "push polls" and those with objective questions can yield vastly different results.

[EnergizedLib]

17. That's enough for us to still win

There’s plenty of time, and I’m assuming polling is still in the margin of error.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. Russia's johnson shouldn't be stuck in Wisconsin; send it back to Putin.

28. Ron Johnson, the 2-Second Traitor

Extremist Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) snapped at a local reporter that he was only involved in Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 plot to overturn the presidential election with fake electors for a “couple of seconds.”
