Marquette University Law School is pleased to bring you the results of a new statewide poll on Wednesday, October 28, 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, which will begin at 12:15 p.m. CDT in Eckstein Hall, is free and open to the public. Please register at law.marquette.edu to attend in person or virtually. 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 October survey of Wisconsin again considers the governor's race between Democrat David Crowley and Republican Tom Tiffany, perceptions of candidate and party ideology, and approval of the governor, legislature, and state Supreme Court. Included are items on the most important issues to voters and opinions of which candidate would do a better job on each of several issues, as well as those directed toward measuring turnout and enthusiasm about voting. State issues include schools, property taxes, possible school closures and consolidation, and access to hospitals with emergency rooms. Economic development topics include support or opposition to large development projects, including data centers, and the use of tax incentives to attract business.
National concerns include approval of how President Donald Trump is handling his job as president, views of the economy, inflation, and personal well-being. Opinion of tariffs, deportations, and the Iran war are also included.
One new topic considers views of college and professional sports.
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 noon, following the event.
