With the presidential and congressional elections looming in a few short weeks, what are the state and national forces that are shaping the elections? How are the economy, immigration, presidential approval, and other issues likely to push the elections in the favor of one party or the other? At the state level, how is the U.S. Senate race seen by the public? The Marquette Law School polls of Wisconsin and national voters help understand where we are, how we got here, and what to watch in the run-up to the November elections.
Charles Franklin is Professor of Law and Public Policy
