Link to September 2 Smart Politics blogpost, "History Says Barrett Win in Wisconsin Governor's Race Hinges on Feingold Victory".
Excerpt: A general rule of thumb when anticipating results on Election Day is that the race at the top of the ticket in a state will frequently dictate what happens in contests further down the ballot.
