Walker will beat Evers by a small margin if he wins, I think (and likewise with Evers if he does). WI voters think the state's economy is in the right direction, and that is mostly what matters to WI voters, so I won't be very surprised if Walker wins. Walker seems to be doing a good job plastering his fake ads about Evers everywhere, too. If Tammy Baldwin loses, I am regarding WI as a tilt R state onward. This isn't going to deter me or my family from voting against him, though. I still have SOME hope. What really shocked me is the Baldwin-Vukmir near tie in the recent MU poll.

Then again, Evers and his campaign think this latest MU poll is a good sign of Democratic momentum in the state, so I guess I shouldn't be that worried if he and his team aren't. In fact Evers could be two points in the lead, which is quite likely since this poll is an obvious outlier, given that Walker is  leading 46 percent to Evers’ 44 percent, well within the margin of error of +/- 4 percent.

"Tony Evers clearly has the momentum in the opening days of the general election," said Evers' campaign manager Maggie Gau. "No matter what poll you look at, Tony has eliminated any advantage Walker has had."

P.S. I know I'm on a couple people's ignore list for posting and ranting so much, but I am just deeply passionate about this race. Sorry if I've annoyed anyone :/

Does anyone think Leah Vukmir has any chance of winning even if future polls show her leading?

Dems shouldn't be surprised if Scott Walker got reelected.

You've said this many times already. Scott Walker is a very powerful man who rigged the previous three elections, so no, I won't be surprised.

When is the next MU poll going to come out? I won't be surprised if Walker's Alma mater shows him leading or tied with Evers.

I despise Scott Walker, but I won't believe he'll lose until it happens.

I'm just wondering how voters are going to split their tickets to reelect Baldwin and Walker at the same time. Neither of them is moderate, so if Walker wins, so is Vukmir. That is my opinion!

Walker does not come across as an extremist like vukmir, and Baldwin has stronger crossover support currently than Tony Evers. Baldwin is safe, even if Walker manages to pull out another reelection, which I doubt.

You make a valid point, but as a WI resident I think it's hard to argue that Walker isn't an extremist. He's coming off as a moderate Republican because it's election season. Many Wisconsin residents will tell you that Walker is far-right on the issues. I'd know since his policies have affected me as a WI resident.

Ontheissues.com rates both Walker and Baldwin as far-right and far-left

You make some valid points and I know you said you doubt Walker will win, but I'll be surprised if ticket-splitting occurs in this election cycle.

Walker is hard conservative to be sure. But my impression of Vukmir is she's a complete bomb-throwing far right whackjob.

Very true!
