With months to go until the campaign begins in earnest - and well before any of his Republican challengers have made their presence felt in the state - a wide margin of Wisconsin residents favor the re-election in November of Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold, according to recent findings of the Badger Poll.
By 51% to 29%, residents polled in March said they would like to see Feingold re-elected for his third term, with the remainder not answering the question or saying they didn't know.
In a separate question, 47% said they had a favorable impression of Feingold, while 19% said their view was unfavorable, figures that have stayed relatively constant since fall. About a third said they didn't know enough to have formed an impression.
Meanwhile, Feingold's Republican rivals remained largely unknown, with neither state Sen. Bob Welch (R-Redgranite), construction executive Tim Michels or car dealer Russ Darrow registering with more than one in five residents. |
