Great numbers, but the Walker approvals are even better!

[DrScholl]

Walker won the recall and re-election. Feingold is a terrible candidate who lost just six years ago. Junk poll.

The next Santorum?

How is Feingold a terrible candidate? He lost, after eighteen years, in a Republican wave year and is objectively one of the most successful Senators (legislatively) of the past couple of decades.

I think you missed the sarcasm.

Feingold almost certainly win by this much, but this is looking like the most likely seat to flip, at this point. Lean D.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

The next Santorum?

Or maybe the next Rick Scott?

Bottom line: We can read into those early polls as much as we want, they are not very useful at all - whether they show Republicans ahead or not. I for once don't think that Johnson will get Blanched or that Toomey, Ayotte and Burr will win by 10 or 12 points. This race definitely leans D, but it's far from over. Same is true for IL. Also, why would Johnson lose so much ground over the last two weeks?

well i mean 2016 is a presidential year

Walker's extremely poor numbers are pulling down the Republicans in the state. Also I agree on your main point, if Johnson loses, it will 9 points at the most. More likely than not it will be 5 points or under. Wisconsin is just too polarized right now.

Possibly, though Florida and Scott is a poor comparison. Scott was able to win because the Florida Democratic Party is incompetent and Charlie Crist is a TOTAL loser. Wisconsin Democrats are better organized and Feingold is a much better candidate.

Johnson is a great campaigner. It'll be close.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It will be close but Feingold will win, probably along the lines of Baldwin 51/47
