Wisconsin: U.S. Senate race poll shows Baldwin now ahead of Thompson

Millions in outside money and a flurry of television ads have helped U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin close a once-formidable gap with former Gov. Tommy Thompson in the Wisconsin race for the U.S. Senate.

Marquette University Law School on Wednesday, Sept. 20, released its latest poll, this one showing the Democratic nominee from Madison leading Thompson among likely voters by 9 percentage points -- a complete turnaround from just one month ago when her Republican opponent held the exact same advantage.

The Marquette poll is the third major poll this week to show Baldwin drawing even or passing Thompson. Earlier Wednesday, Quinnipiac University released its swing state poll, which showed Baldwin and Thompson running neck and neck among likely voters with 47 percent each. Public Policy Polling released a poll Tuesday showing the representative with a 3-point lead over Thompson, 48 percent to 45 percent.
