Another Non-Partisan Political Report Moves Wisconsin Senate Race in Johnson’s Favor

[Oshkosh, WI] The Rothenberg Political Report shifted their analysis of Wisconsin’s U.S. Senate Race in Ron Johnson’s direction, moving the race from “Toss-up/Tilt Democrat” to “Toss-up.” The news follows last week’s Cook Political Report assessment that Ron Johnson makes the race a toss-up.

“The more Wisconsin voters hear Ron’s message of job creation and fiscal restraint, the more the momentum to defeat Russ Feingold grows,” said Juston Johnson, Campaign Manager for Ron Johnson for Senate. “As the Rothenberg Report notes, Ron Johnson is a straight-talking businessman, and his experience creating real jobs will bring a much-needed new perspective to Washington.”

Wisconsin Open (Feingold, D) – Move from Toss-up/Tilt Democrat to Toss-up

Republican Ron Johnson continues to perform well in polling. Even if the challenger isn’t doing as well as some GOP surveys suggest, it’s clear that Sen. Russ Feingold’s quirky outsider image has started to lose its luster. Johnson’s straight-talking businessman/outsider persona fits the cycle perfectly, which makes this contest a pure Toss-up.
