Republican state Sen. Leah Vukmir trails Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin by just two points according to a Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday. Baldwin leads Vukmir 49-47 percent among likely voters, but among registered voters, Baldwin is ahead by eight points.
Vukmir defeated businessman Kevin Nicholson in the Republican primary election on Aug. 14. Before her victory, 66 percent of voters said they didn't know enough about her to have an opinion. That's down to 48 percent now.

Hold the rallies in the outer counties where Nicholson did well. Belling made a good point the other day (even though it is a bit of a pat on his own back) that Nicholson did best in areas where the SE talk radio doesn’t reach.
His ads calling her a RINO in SE WIsconsin didn’t stick because the voters down here are well versed in Vukmir and thought the ads were ridiculous.
That they are going to offer a united front is great to hear. Trump rallies in say in (pick 2) Wausau, Superior/Duluth (double as a rally for R Senate candidates for MN too), or Eau Claire would go a long way to shoring up the Nicholsen block especially if he’s out there too.
Personally an ad with him in it hitting Baldwin on the VA scandal in support of Vukmir would be a killer. Not sure if he’s up for that, but it would go a long way to solidifying trust in conservative WI circles moving into the future.
BTW.
An MU poll showing it this close this early has got to have the Dems completely sick. MU poll usually has R’s getting crushed early and then tightening as we get closer to election day.
Hope that trend continues!
Well said!
Barring some unforeseen ‘scandal’ with Leah (highly doubtful; the Left would’ve found SOME dirt by now) I think we’re going to be just fine.
Betcha' he will. He's going all around rallying for House candidates. He'll surely rally for Senate candidates.

WOW! This would be a really nice pickup if it happens.
