Walker leads Barrett 52% to 45% in new Marquette Law School poll [View all]

Source: JS Online

Republican Gov. Scott Walker leads Democrat Tom Barrett 52% to 45% in a poll to be released Wednesday by Marquette Law School.

Walker’s lead is almost identical in the new poll to what it was in Marquette’s early May survey, when Walker led 50% to 44% among likely voters.

The survey of 600 likely voters was taken last Wednesday through Saturday, and has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.

The election is next Tuesday, June 5.

The full poll results will be released at 1:15 pm.
