Who's voting in November? In MU Law School Poll, it's old racist white folks.

My general thoughts about the Marquette Law School Poll?

Shorter @MULawPoll - Johnson leads and Michels tied if voters are a lot of old white guys in the sticks.

If it’s not, Evers leads by 5 and Barnes likely is ahead. So let’s have @UWWCollegeDems and other young/non-white voters turn out, eh?#wiunion #wipolitics #wigov #wisen

What angers me is that our media will NOT say that obvious reality, and instead go with the pro-GOP "likely voter" numbers (which ignores respondents who say they are "very likely" or "50-50" to vote). And that's what some low-info voters will use as their cue to decide who they should support, since they want to be associated with winning.

And it's especially infuriating when you see posts like this from former Feingold press secretary Jud Lounsbury.

Also... ummm... the Marquette Poll was only 3% Black. The last midterm election in Wisconsin, it was a 9% Black electorate and their wasn't a Black dude running for Senate.

Dig into the crosstabs on the Registered Voter sample, and it's a lot more like Real Wisconsin.

Registered Voters, MU Law Poll
Black voters 4.8% of electorate
Hispanic Voters 5.7% of electorate
Voters 18-29
Evers 53-34
Barnes 54-35

Still a bit overly white, but generally in line with what we would expect. So I'm assuming this is the state of play until something different comes along.

Among all registered voters, the results are more favorable to Democrats in both Senate and governor races. Among all registered voters, it’s Evers 46% and Michels 41%. In the Senate race, it’s 47% for Barnes and 47% for Johnson. #mulawpoll

The media coverage would be quite different if those were the poll numbers being discussed today. And I bet Bradley Foundation-funded Chucky Franklin knows it too.
