MILWAUKEE - The newly-released Marquette University Law School Poll says that two Democratic candidates for election in Wisconsin have opened up larger leads.
Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin, who represents Madison in Congress, leads former Wisconsin Republican Governor and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Serivces Tommy Thompson, 50 to 41 percent.
Thompson had led Baldwin by the same percentage in a previous version of the poll from August 16-19.
In the Presidential race, President Barack Obama (D) led Mitt Romney (R), 54-40.
According to poll director Prof. Charles Franklin, Mr. Obama grabbed a big bump from the Democratic National Convention. His 14 percent margin on Romney is the biggest of the year so far.

Poll administrators caution that respondents in the latest poll were more heavily Democratic than in previous Marquette polls. The September poll was two percentage points more Democratic and three points less Republican than average, however, still within the polls margin of error. When adjusted to average partisan makeup, Baldwins lead would be 48-43 percent, while Obamas lead would be 51-43 percent.

(32,006 posts)Weird how the democratic candidates are gaining ground in the state where the republican governor survived a recall. Must really be a large independent base in the badger state just as influential as the organized labor left and conservatives. Do those swing voters really believe that both parties have good candidates, or more likely are low info voters who vote based on campaign ads seen during Packers games?

(25,111 posts)I guess Pres O bump from the convention is lasting pretty well. Y'look at the some of the national polls (which want this race close) you find Pres O dissipating. Apparently not so fast tho cause the Dems races across the country are mostly on a trend upward. What about Lyin'Ryan?
