A poll shows Wisconsin Republicans are more excited than Democrats about voting, a significant marker in a midterm election when turnout is lower than in a presidential year.
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Democrats gathering for their annual state convention this weekend are focused on reelecting Gov. Tony Evers and defeating Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, but also know that history is against them in the midterm year as voters face high inflation, rising gas prices and growing concerns about a recession.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers addresses a joint session of the Legislature in the Assembly chambers at the state Capitol in Madison, Wis. on Feb. 15, 2022. “There’s this real sense that the future of our state and that the whole country is on the line and that Democrats casting their ballots in 2022 could affect the rest of all of our lives,” Wikler said.
Republicans argue Evers’ tenure has been a failure, saying he didn’t react quickly or forcefully enough to violent riots in Kenosha in the summer of 2021, he’s taking credit for a tax cut Republicans wrote and he’s not done enough to help the economy.Advertisement In the Senate race, the poll showed Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes at 25% and Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry at 21%. State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski trailed at 9% while Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson was at 7%. Similar to the Republican primary poll, roughly a third of respondents, 36%, said they were undecided.
