Marquette poll: Walker and Burke still deadlocked; Happ leads Schimel for AG

With the fall election about to kick into high gear after Labor Day, the race for governor remains deadlocked, while the Democratic nominee for attorney general has a large lead but remains widely unknown, according to a new Marquette Law School poll released Wednesday.

The latest poll shows Democratic gubernatorial nominee Mary Burke with a 2-point lead over Gov. Scott Walker, 49 percent to 47 percent, among likely voters. Among registered voters, Walker leads Burke 48 percent to 44 percent.

Poll director Charles Franklin called the results, which are within the poll's margin of error, "remarkably flat" over several polls.

In the attorney general's race, 40 percent of registered voters said they would vote for Jefferson County District Attorney Susan Happ, the Democratic nominee, and 33 percent said they would vote for Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel, the Republican nominee. Among likely voters it was 42 percent to 32 percent in favor of Happ.

However, 82 percent of respondents said they haven't heard enough about Happ to form an opinion about her, and 87 percent said they haven't heard enough about Schimel to form an opinion about him.
