Baldwin poll has her up on Thompson 48-45
The latest poll conducted for Tammy Baldwin's Senate campaign has her up on Tommy Thompson 48 percent to 45 percent.
A memo on the latest results say those numbers have been fairly static over the last two weeks in Baldwin's polling, which had her up 48-44 Oct. 17, 49-44 Oct. 22 and 47-44 Oct. 28.
The memo says 50 percent of respondents had an unfavorable view of Thompson due to her portrayal of him as "not for you anymore" and argued his attacks on her over natural security have not changed the dynamics in the race.
The survey of 800 likely voters was conducted Sunday through Tuesday by The Feldman Group Inc. using professional interviewers and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Nineteen percent of respondents were reached on their cell phones.
Thirty-two percent of those polled identified themselves as Democrats, 24 percent Republicans and 40 percent independents.
