Things are looking up for Wisconsin and the nation.
Conservative Ron Johnson now has a 7-point lead over liberal Russ Feingold.
From Rasmussen:
The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Johnson picking up 51% support, while Feingold earns the vote from 44%. One percent (1%) of voters prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) remain undecided.
However, the race is still considered a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Senate Balance of Power rankings.
The survey was conducted one night after Johnson’s primary victory in which he received 85% of the vote in a three-way race. Feingold, who is running for his fourth term in the Senate, ran uncontested in Tuesday’s Democratic primary. Future surveys will determine whether Johnson's jump ahead is just a post-primary bounce or reflects a serious change in the race.
This is the first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey in Wisconsin to include leaners. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either of the candidates but answer a follow-up question and say they are leaning towards a particular candidate. From this point forward, Rasmussen Reports considers results with leaners the primary indicator of the race.
When leaners are excluded from the totals, Johnson leads Feingold 50% to 43%.
...Johnson is backed by 94% of Republicans in Wisconsin, while 86% of the state's Democrats support Feingold. Johnson holds a nearly two-to-one lead among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
...Johnson is viewed favorably by 61% of Wisconsin voters and unfavorably by 33%. Those numbers include 29% who view the Republican Very Favorably and 19% who view him Very Unfavorably.
Feingold’s ratings are 51% favorable, 46% unfavorable. One-in-three voters (32%) shares a Very Favorable opinion of the longtime senator, while 28% view him Very Unfavorably.
This is really bad news for Feingold: "Johnson holds a nearly two-to-one lead among voters not affiliated with either major political party."
These numbers are likely to convince Feingold to get even dirtier in his campaign.
The Democrat machine is sure to step up the attacks on Johnson and shadowy groups will funnel money into Wisconsin to assist Feingold. I doubt "campaign finance reform" Feingold will complain.
I don't think that will matter much. Attack ads from Team Feingold aren't going to impact the financial turmoil people are experiencing day in and day out.
People want change. They need change. We've seen what happens when the Democrats control the government with Obama at the helm - DISASTER.
The Democrats own this economy.
Bottom line: Feingold is part of the problem. Wisconsinites understand that we need to change course.
