 The latest market university law school poll has been released and we're joined today by professor Charles Franklin the director of the poll Charles the presidential race coming down to the wire Wisconsin still thought to be an important state What did we have for our final poll pre-election poll? Yeah, our last pre-election poll President Obama has retaken a lead to 51 to 43 recovering from that bad first debate performance that really hurt him here to come back to a Significant lead. Let's talk about the Senate race another very competitive race important to which party controls the majority and in Washington What did we find there? their Representative Tammy Baldwin has taken a slim lead by 47 to 43 over former governor Tommy Thompson that race was tied two weeks ago as well Charles We're seeing some movement in numbers again With the president's numbers we saw him earlier this summer having a pretty solid lead over Mitt Romney that tightened especially Obviously in our last poll he's now got a larger lead Does that have to do with what happened during the three debates? I think it clearly does if you look at the course of the campaign Obama went from a mid to upper single-digit lead and then fell dramatically To just a one-point lead following the first debate Now recovering from that. We're seeing a real effect in our data for Wisconsin voters 58% saw him as the winner of the third presidential debate that final debate only 31% saw Mitt Romney winning that debate This election like all elections comes down to turnout and and and we have data that suggests that the turnout is Especially especially key and in what comes what takes place in Wisconsin Tuesday here We see some really striking differences depending on whether all Likely voters get to the polls or whether only the most energized and interested likely voters do that eight point Obama lead drops to just a two-point lead 48 46 among those likely voters who are Absolutely the most engaged Likewise in the Senate race it falls to just a one-point Baldwin lead among those most engaged voters So this issue of turnout is not only turning out your likely voters But turning out those likely voters who say that for sure they're going to vote But haven't been paying as much attention or not as engaged by the election and both parties say they have great Get out the vote operations republicans say we build a we built some great infrastructure with the recall election Democrats say we still got a campaign in place from four years ago We're ready to go and we see that in the data more than two-thirds of voters say they've been contacted by one or the other party In the last week And that's a very high percentage in just a short period of time there The phones are ringing off the hooks Charles Franklin is the director of the Marquette Law School poll.
