The Marquette University Law School Poll is the state’s gold standard of measuring where voters stand, so here at The Recombobulation Area, we take a close look at each new poll.
This is the first poll following the Aug. 9 primary, as we shift to the general election races between Mandela Barnes and Ron Johnson, and Tony Evers and Tim Michels. We break down each of those head-to-head matchups, take a deep dive on Ron Johnson’s favorability, and break down results on abortion, paid leave, election issues, and more.
Let’s recombobulate.

Here at The Recombobulation Area, have been writing a breakdown of every new edition of the Marquette University Law School Poll since we launched three years ago. Now, we’re going to be discussing the poll live with poll director Charles Franklin and Marquette University’s John D. Johnson live and in person next week.
The event is free, there will be a cash bar, and it’s in a great location, at Dandy on West Vliet Street in Milwaukee’s Washington Heights neighborhood.
BE THERE!
(And do our gracious hosts a favor and register on Eventbrite, it will help all of us plan for the event.)
