I haven't noticed him even polling in the mid 40's.
Maybe early on before his bigotry alienated every demographic but one.

Feingold looks like he owns this race.
Happy to see that

had a Russ Feingold to vote for here in Georgia. Alas, nothing but Johnsons who get themselves elected on totally absurd lies about Democrats--have to. They could never tell the truth about what they intend to do in government and get elected, not even down here.

"Feingold, 62, was a leader of the Elizabeth Warren wing of his party before there was a Sen. Warren. He bucked his Democratic president, Bill Clinton, on a law that loosened banking regulations. He was one of nine Democrats to oppose the 2008 Wall Street rescue package. He was one of just 21 Democrats to oppose authorizing war in Iraq. He was the lone senator to vote against the PATRIOT Act right after the 9/11 terrorist attacks."

But she's still up and the debates should give her another boost.

Russ's numbers look really awesome though.

Johnson wore out his welcome the day after he was elected. Went out of his way to mean mouth everyone who did not vote for him.

Wisconsin polling in mid October will tell the story,once the College Students settle in and get organized,then the real action begins.

The big #'s for Feingold say a lot about moving back to those the voters trust.
Glad Johnson took a well earned pounding.

Only 3% undecided in Senate race while 9% undecided in presidential race. I would say most of those are left leaning indies who ultimately will vote for Hillary as well as Russ.

WI and its polls.

The Monmouth pollster is also considered a very good pollster. So, it is hard to reconcile what is going on.

From the link in the OP - see bolded in excerpt below. Follow the link in the OP and scroll to the bottom for description of methodology and a link to a .pdf of the full methodology and tables.

METHODOLOGY

The Monmouth University Poll was sponsored and conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute from August 27 to 30, 2016 with a random sample of 404 likely Wisconsin voters. Interviews were conducted by a live caller in English, including 354 drawn from a list of registered voters (203 landline / 151 cell phone) and a random digit dial supplement of 50 cell phone interviews. Monmouth is responsible for all aspects of the survey design, data weighting and analysis. The final sample is weighted for age, gender, race and partisanship based on voter list and U.S. Census information. Data collection support provided by Braun Research (field), Aristotle (voter list sample), and SSI (RDD sample). For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the error attributable to sampling has a maximum margin of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points (unadjusted for sample design). Sampling error can be larger for sub-groups (see table below). In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.
