Poll: Schimel leads Crawford in Wisconsin Supreme Court race

(The Center Square) – A poll in Wisconsin’s race for the supreme court has the conservative candidate up by 5 but many voters have yet to make up their minds.

The conservative Institute for Reforming Government on Thursday released the poll that has conservative Brad Schimel up 40-35 over liberal Judge Susan Crawford.

The IRG poll says 23% of voters have not yet to decide.

The poll also asked about the issues that voters care about in the race for the supreme court.

IRG says those results show:

● 26% of voters want to ensure that judges adhere to the constitution.

● 25% of voters say crime and public safety are their biggest issues.

● 17% of voters say abortion tops their list.

● 9% of voters are worried about the power of unelected bureaucrats.

The poll also says 48% of Wisconsin voters approve of the job that supreme court is doing, while another 38% disapprove.

The poll also suggests less than half of the voters have heard about the race, with 24% of voters saying they heard about the race between Schimel and Crawford in the past week, and another 24% who said that heard about the race in the past month.

The poll was conducted by Napolitan News Service and surveyed 800 registered voters from Jan. 17-21 with a +/- 3.5% margin of error.

The race between Schimel and Crawford will determine whether the Wisconsin Supreme Court keeps its liberal majority. It is also expected to set new records for judicial spending.

The last Wisconsin Supreme Court race, in 2023, became the most expensive race ever. That race saw more than $50 million in total spending. Politicos say this year’s race could see closer to $100 million.
