Barrett poll has race almost even
Tom Barrett's campaign released a polling memo today that details its latest survey, which has the race within the margin of error.
The memo, compiled by Garin Hart Yang Research Group, says the campaign's latest poll, which was conducted Tuesday and Wednesday, found 50 percent of respondents backed Scott Walker, while 48 percent supported Barrett.
It argues the ads against Walker are starting to penetrate with his negatives climbing to 46 percent, compared to a 48 percent positive rating, while Barrett leads by 6 percentage points on being honest and trustworthy after trailing by 3 points two weeks ago.
The memo says it was based on a survey of 635 likely Wisconsin voters conducted Tuesday and Wednesday and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.9 percentage points.
