Democrat Russ Feingold still leads Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson in Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race, but a long-term view of the race shows it becoming increasingly competitive, the director of the Marquette Law School Poll said Wednesday.

Feingold led Johnson among registered voters 48 percent to 41 percent in a head-to-head matchup in the new Marquette poll, results of which were released today.

Among likely voters, Feingold's lead drew closer, to 49-44.


.........................
Libertarian Phil Anderson draws a noteworthy level of support from poll respondents, though his presence in the race doesn't significantly alter Feingold's lead in the poll.

Feingold leads a three-way race with 45 percent among registered voters, compared to 38 percent for Johnson and 8 percent for Anderson. Among likely voters, it's Feingold at 46 percent, Johnson at 40 percent and Anderson at 7 percent.....................

I have a relative that works for the company that makes voting machines and that relative says the machines are easy to rig. But the folks in charge of investigating the rigged machines are the people who rig the machines.
