According to a Rasmussen poll released today, Scott Walker is widening his lead in the race for governor in Wisconsin.
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, coming off last weekend’s state Republican Convention endorsement, now holds a slight lead over Democratic opponent Tom Barrett after the two ran virtually even a month ago in the contest for Wisconsin governor.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the state finds Walker with 48% support to Barrett’s 41%. Three percent (3%) like some other candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.
Former Congressman Mark Neumann, who is battling Walker for the GOP nomination, now runs just ahead of Barrett 44% to 42%. Six percent (6%) favor another candidate, and eight percent (8%) are undecided.
A month ago, Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee, was running even with Neumann at 46% apiece and just barely behind Walker 46% to 44%.
These are not good numbers for Barrett.
While Neumann is leading Barrett now, Walker enjoys a greater lead, beyond the polls margin of error.
Obviously, Barrett isn't benefiting from running unopposed for the Democrat nomination.
Neumann isn't benefiting from his attacks on Walker. That strategy isn't working at all.
November is far away, but I feel confident that Wisconsin is about to enter a new era of hope and change in our state.
