PPP: Baldwin leads Thompson by four points
The latest poll from Public Policy Polling shows U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin leading former Gov. Tommy Thompson by a four-point margin.
The poll, conducted over Tuesday and Wednesday with 842 likely Wisconsin voters, has Baldwin with 49 percent of the vote compared to Thompson's 45 percent. That's a nine-percentage-point swing from the last poll a month ago.
Baldwin's favorability rating jumped from 40 percent to 44 percent, though her unfavorability remained at 45 percent. In contrast, Thompson's favorability ratings dropped from 46 percent to 43 percent, while his unfavorability has jumped from 42 percent to 50 percent.
