Wisconsin Senate -Feingold leads all Republicant challengers
Raleigh, N.C. First-term Republican Senator Ron Johnson is on the rocks with
Wisconsin voters ahead of his first re-election campaign in 2016.
Johnson, who rode the Republican tidal wave of 2010 to victory over longtime incumbent
Democrat Russ Feingold, comes in at just 32% approval, making him one of the least
popular senators in the country.
Feingold, meanwhile, is the most popular Wisconsin politician included in this poll with
46/35 favorability. He holds a healthy nine-point lead over Johnson in a hypothetical rematch
of their 2010 race, 50/41. Both Wisconsin Democrats and Independents are
nostalgic for Feingolds return to Washington, supporting his bid over Johnson 86/4 and
52/38, respectively. Feingold is so popular with Democrats that the last time PPP polled
in the state in April 2014, the former three-term senator placed second only to Hillary
Clinton in a hypothetical Democratic presidential primary race.
