Wisconsin Governor: Doyle 48%, Green 45%
- Jim Doyle is holding on to the top position in the Badger State's gubernatorial race, according to the latest poll by Strategic Vision. 48 per cent of respondents would support the incumbent Democrat, while 45 per cent would vote for Republican challenger Mark Green.
A late October survey by Research 2000 gave Doyle a six-point edge over Green. Nelson Eisman of the Green Party is also contending.
Doyle has acted as Wisconsin's governor since January 2003. The former state attorney general defeated Republican incumbent Scott McCallum and Libertarian candidate Ed Thompson in the November 2002 election with 45 per cent of the vote.
Green has served in the United States House of Representatives since 1988, and is currently the assistant majority whip. In March, Milwaukee County executive Scott Walker dropped out of the race for the GOP nomination, due to fundraising setbacks.
The gubernatorial election will take place today. Since 1951, the Badger State has had six Republican and six Democratic heads of government.
