PPP/Daily Kos Poll: WI Gov Walker (R) 50% Barrett (D) 41%

[WI_DEM]

The race for governor is somewhat more tighter than senate according to this poll. I can state that even here in Madison I see more Barrett signs than Feingold signs:


Meanwhile, in the battle to replace Democratic Governor Jim Doyle, the results are only incrementally better:

Public Policy Polling for Daily Kos. Governor. 9/18-9/19. Likely Voters. MoE 3.8% (6/27 results)

Scott Walker (R) 50 (45)
Tom Barrett (D) 41 (38)



One thing to bear in mind in this race, however, is the fact that Walker is less than one week removed from a high-profile primary in which he defeated former Congressman Mark Neumann. Barrett, meanwhile, was essentially unopposed, and had to expend little-to-no energy thus far. Democrats in the state are, without a doubt, hoping that some of the gap here is owed to a post-primary bounce, which will recede in the next week or two.

Actually Barrett is doing better than Feingold among some key groups: 18-29 year olds Feingold leads by only two-points, Barrett is up by 16. Democrats, Feingold gets 80% while Barrett gets 84% 46-64 year olds Feingold lags by 9, barrett is behind by 4. Southwestern WI Barrett is up by 17 while Feingold is up by 11.
