With less than a month to go before the midterms, Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson has opened a 6-point lead over Democratic challenger Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, according to Wednesday's Marquette University Law School Poll.
Johnson led Barnes by 52% to 46% among likely Wisconsin voters.
In the race for governor, Democratic Gov. Tony Evers held a 47% to 46% lead over Republican challenger Tim Michels, among likely voters. The governor numbers were in the survey's margin of error.
In the September poll, Johnson held a 1-point lead over Barnes among likely voters while Evers had a 3-point edge over Michels.
Marquette's August survey, conducted just after the primaries, showed Barnes with a 7-point advantage over Johnson among registered voters while Evers had a 4-point lead over Michels.
The survey of 801 registered Wisconsin voters, including 652 likely voters, was conducted Oct. 3-9. The margin of error for the full sample was plus or minus 4.3% and for the sample of likely voters was plus or minus 4.8%.
The sample was 30% Republican, 29% Democratic and 40% independent.
