Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker remains the strongest Republican for now in the race against likely Democratic candidate Tom Barrett in the contest for Wisconsin governor.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of likely voters in the state finds Walker leading Barrett, the mayor of Milwaukee, by nine points – 49% to 40%. Last month, in the first Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey of the race, Walker posted a 48% to 38% lead over Barrett.
But the other prominent GOP hopeful, former GOP Congressman Mark Neumann, is now in a virtual tie with Barrett. He leads the Democrat 44% to 42%. Last month, Neumann led Barrett by a 42% to 38% margin. - Rasmussen Reports Poll
This is a big race in Wisconsin. Democrat Mayor of Milwaukee Barrett doesn't really have anything that he can hang his hat on as far as accomplishments in the city and has pretty much been the Missing Mayor for much of his tenure. Walker has been front and center with ideas to cut cost and taxes, though much of his ideas have gone down in defeat by the Democratic County Board.
This race will really heat up over the summer.
