Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke climbed ahead of Gov. Scott Walker in a poll released Tuesday.
The poll, conducted by Gravis Marketing, surveyed more than 900 registered voters with an equal distribution of voters identifying as Democrat, Republican and Independent. The gender divide was equally split.
The poll showed a five point gain in favor of Burke for the Nov. 4 election. Burke earned 50 percent of the potential vote while Walker earned 45 percent; there was a margin of error of 3 percent. The former Trek Bicycle executive has not released a statement regarding the news.
The Marquette Law School released a poll earlier this September putting Walker ahead by two points. Marquette has compiled poll data from the last year illustrating the close nature of the race.
