Marquette University Law School is pleased to bring you the results of a new statewide poll on Wednesday, June 25, in an in-person event featuring Charles Franklin, professor of law and public policy and director of the Marquette Law School Poll, and Derek Mosley, director of the school’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education.
The program will begin at 12:15 p.m. CDT in Eckstein Hall. This program is free and open to the public. Please register at law.marquette.edu to attend in person or virtually. A light lunch will be available. The program will also be livestreamed on the Law School’s website via the “Watch Now” button for those unable to join us in person.
The Marquette Law School Poll’s survey of Wisconsin focuses on state budget issues confronting the legislature and governor, including tax cuts, the extension of Medicaid coverage for new mothers, and public university and K-12 school funding. Policy topics include limiting the governor’s partial veto power, adopting a citizen-initiated referendum process, and legalization of marijuana.
The poll also looks at school-related issues, including cell-phone bans during school, satisfaction with public schools, support for vouchers for private schools, support for increased funding for special education costs, and confidence in local school boards to give complaints a fair hearing.
Water quality and safety issues are included in the poll, as is a look at sources of news about local affairs.
National issues concerning immigration, tariffs, inflation, and the federal budget deficit are included, along with opinions of state and national political figures. In addition to approval of the legislature and state Supreme Court, the poll includes approval of Gov. Tony Evers and opinion on whether or not he should seek a third term as governor.
Various poll findings will be synchronously noted on Twitter via the @MULawPoll account. A complete news release and poll data, including toplines, crosstabs, and slides from the discussion, will be available on the Marquette Law School Poll website, shortly after 1:15 p.m., following the event.
