I Know Wisconsin. Wisconsin Men. Do you?
"Wisconsin continues to be one of the most closely divided states in the country," says Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, whose company Beacon Research conducts the Fox News survey with Republican pollster Daron Shaw. "Republicans appear to have some momentum in both the Senate and gubernatorial races, but they are both competitive as we head into the final month of campaigning."
Johnson won re-election in 2016 by about 3 points.
Much of the shift away from Barnes is among men, including a 7-point decline among Democratic men. That contributes to the wide gender gap, as women prefer Barnes by 11 points, while men back Johnson by 21.
Johnson also gets support from White evangelical Christians (+57), rural voters (+13), and voters without a college degree (+12). Barnes is the choice among city dwellers (+31), union households (+8), and college educated voters (+8).
Most Democrats back Barnes (94%), most Republicans back Johnson (92%), while independents split. Johnson benefits from the fact that more voters in Wisconsin identify as Republicans than Democrats, and that’s what gives him the advantage in this race.
