WI Sen Poll: Thompson(R) Could Beat Feingold(D)
Earlier this week, Rasmussen polled a potential matchup between Rep. Mike Pence (R) and Sen. Evan Bayh (D) in Indiana, and found the Republican could have beaten the incumbent; he ultimately decided against running.

Now, Rasmussen tests (500 LVs, 1/26, MoE +/- 4.5%) a hypothetical matchup of Sen. Russ Feingold (D) and former Gov. and HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson (R). Again, the Republican has an edge. But will he run?

General Election Matchup
Thompson 47
Feingold 43
Und 4

Thompson leads among independent voters 53 to 36 percent.

President Obama again is somewhat of a drag in Wisconsin: 46 approve of his job performance while 54 percent disapprove. Feingold has a fav/unfav split of 46 / 47, while Thompson is viewed favorably by 56 percent and unfavorably by 39 percent.
