In the race for governor, Democratic state Attorney General Jim Doyle appears to possess a slight lead over his Republican counterpart, Gov. Scott McCallum, according to the latest Badger Poll.
The survey of 539 likely voters showed Doyle with an 8 percent lead over McCallum, who claimed support of 35 percent of those polled. Libertarian candidate Ed Thompson received 6 percent, while Green Party candidate Jim Young received 1 percent.
However, when the responders were given the option not to choose a candidate, 48 percent said they were undecided while 26 percent said they would vote for Doyle and 20 percent supported McCallum.
\It's a real lead for Doyle but it's by no means insurmountable for McCallum,"" Badger Poll Director G. Donald Ferree Jr. said. ""Neither of them is behaving as though the race is settled.\
