WI Sen Poll: Thompson Leads Feingold
In a new Rasmussen poll, Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold (D) fails to garner 50 percent against two announced Republican challengers, while he trails former Gov. Tommy Thompson, who has yet to say whether he will run. Thompson led Feingold by a similar margin last month.
Feingold's resume and bank account make him formidable, even in an anti-incumbent year, but his polling numbers -- sub-50 percent against businessmen Terrence Wall and Dave Westlake, and behind Thompson -- could be a sign of trouble ahead for the three-term senator.
Thompson 48
Feingold 43
Feingold 47
Wall 39
Feingold 47
Westlake 37
The survey was conducted Feb. 17 of 500 likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 4.5%.
