With just three days until Election Day, the two final public polls in the Wisconsin governor’s race both show the race between embattled Gov. Scott Walker and Mary Burke is a dead heat.
The final poll from Public Policy Polling (PPP), released yesterday, shows a statistical dead heat, with Walker holding a 48 – 47 lead over Burke. The poll was taken over three days and surveyed 1814 likely voters. PPP has been one of the consistently most reliable polls both in Wisconsin and nationwide.
Also released yesterday was the final poll from YouGov, which surveyed 1494 voters, showing another dead heat with Walker leading Burke 42-41.
“The final public polls released over the last few days confirm what we’ve known for months — the race between Scott Walker and Mary Burke is all going to come down to turnout,” Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate said Saturday. “Wisconsin voters need to know this race is incredibly close and their vote will make a difference between four more years of Scott Walker’s failed policies or a new direction with Mary Burke.”
