http://talkingpointsmemo.com/polltracker/poll-shows-johnson-in-danger-in-wisconsinAccording to a Wisconsin Survey poll released Wednesday night, Feingold leads Johnson by 10 points among registered voters, 51 percent to 41 percent.
While it is still early in the race, the numbers reveal just how hard the climb will be for Johnson, a freshman senator and chairman of the Senate's Homeland Security committee. Johnson is facing re-election in a year that may prove difficult for Republican incumbents. Many Senate predictors are forecasting Republicans will have a tough time holding their majority especially if Donald Trump or Ted Cruz is the GOP's presidential nominee.
Johnson is one of the most vulnerable senators up for re-election. The Wisconsin Survey found that 42 percent of registered voters surveyed approved of the job he was doing in Washington while 35 percent disapproved.

All you can do these days is throw the ball as hard as you can, throw in a "Hail Mary" and hope for the best.

(34,661 posts)worried about? Russ lost out to Johnson in the Northern areas of the State. Now this time Russ's Campaign is doing a better job of messaging and keeping Johnson from blowing smoke. If Russ prevails,he will bring a ton of Democrats back into office. Walker is such a stain on the State,it only can get better.
