On the Issues: Marquette Law School Poll

Marquette University Law School is pleased to bring you the results of a new statewide poll on Wednesday, August 26, 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 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 survey of Wisconsin considers the general election for governor between Republican Tom Tiffany and Democrat David Crowley. In addition to questions about vote choice for governor and for the legislature, respondents are asked about their perceptions of the candidates’ ideological positions and those of the parties. Opinions about a number of issues are also explored, including the most important issues facing voters, data centers, schools, property taxes, the state budget surplus, crime, police conduct, and other issues. Respondents are also asked about their economic situations and opinions on the cost of living and gasoline and grocery prices. National issues include the Iran war, abortion policy, same-sex marriage, and requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Approval of the president, governor, state legislature, and state Supreme Court is also included.

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.
