The 2010 race for the governorship is up for grabs, according to a new poll from Public Policy Polling.
The poll showed Democratic candidate, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is tied with Republican opponent and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker. It found that voters consider Barrett more favorable than former Congressman Mark Neumann by a 41 percent to 39 percent approval margin.
Fifty-seven percent of those surveyed said they did not have an opinion on Neumann because they did not know enough about him. Forty-four percent said they didn't have an opinion on Walker, and 48 percent said they did not know enough about Barrett to have an opinion.
In a matchup between Barrett and Walker, 40 percent of 18- to 29-year- olds said they view Barrett favorably and 32 percent of those surveyed said they prefer Walker.
