(The Center Square) – Voters in Wisconsin haven’t changed their minds in a while about their elected leaders in Madison.
The latest Marquette Law School Poll shows the approval ratings for Gov. Tony Evers and the legislature are relatively unchanged.
Pollsters say 51% of voters approve of Gov. Evers’ job performance, while 44% disapprove. Those numbers are largely the same as they were in the Marquette Polls from June, April, January and even November.
Evers’ approval rating has moved between 51% and 53% over the past five MU polls.
It’s a similar story for Wisconsin lawmakers.
The new Marquette Law School Poll shows just 33% of voters approve of the job that lawmakers in Madison are doing. The poll says 54% of voters disapprove.
Those numbers are also largely the same as the numbers in Marquette’s polls from June, April, January and November.
The highest approval rating for the legislature came in November, when 40% of voters in that MU poll said they approved of the job that the legislature did. But that same poll showed 57% of voters disapproved.
Voters’ views of the Wisconsin Supreme Court are largely unchanged as well.
The latest Marquette Law School Poll says 46% of voters approve of the job that the liberal-majority court is doing. Another 37% say they disapprove.
Approval of the Supreme Court has been about 45% over the past five MU polls as well, topping out at 51% approval rating in November’s poll. The disapproval rate was also highest in that poll at 43%.
The Marquette Law School Poll is the most extensive statewide polling project in Wisconsin history. The survey was conducted July 24-Aug. 1, interviewing 877 Wisconsin registered voters, with a margin of error of +/-4.6 percentage points. The sample contains 801 likely voters, those who say they are absolutely certain to vote in November, with a margin of error of +/-4.8 percentage points.
