Senate Race in Wisconsin Heating Up: Baldwin and Hovde Neck and Neck

The Senate race in Wisconsin is heating up as incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin faces a tough challenge from Republican businessman Eric Hovde. A recent poll by Marquette University Law School shows the candidates neck and neck, with Baldwin leading by five percentage points among registered voters, but tied with Hovde among likely voters.

Hovde’s campaign is touting the close numbers as a sign that Wisconsinites are ready for change, criticizing Baldwin as a career politician who aligns too closely with the Biden agenda. On the other hand, Baldwin’s campaign is hitting back, highlighting Hovde’s spending of millions of his own money on the campaign and pointing to a lawsuit his bank in California is facing.

The poll also revealed that there are still a significant number of persuadable voters, with 18% of registered voters undecided on who to support. While Baldwin is more well-known among voters, Hovde is making progress in introducing himself to the electorate.

With partisanship playing a significant role in voter decision-making, the race is expected to be a close one as we head towards the November election. Stay tuned for more updates on this closely watched Senate race in Wisconsin.
