The poll also shows a split in the race for attorney general, with Republican Brad Schimel and Democrat Susan Happ splitting the vote at 42-42, with about 16 percent of voters still undecided on who they will vote for in the race.
The poll interviewed 1,004 registered voters, with 803 of those saying they are likely to vote on November 4. It was conducted October 9-12 and has a margin of error among registered voters of +/- 3.2 percent and +/- 3.5 percent among likely voters.
