All polls should be taken with a grain of salt, but this latest one from Marquette deserves more than a few.
OK, it was conducted in late summer, but why the uptick in clueless respondents in Madison and the Milwaukee suburbs when asked about Scott Fitzgerald?
As for Robin Vos, the latest Marquette poll shows something of a collective brain fart in Milwaukee and a political epiphany in the Fox Valley.

Is Statehouse News Actually Declining, or Just Different? (Governing, December 2018)
If you look strictly at numbers, it’s hard to escape the notion that state-level journalism is in dire straits these days. To make the most obvious point, there aren’t as many news outlets as there were when the century began. Penelope Muse Abernathy, a journalism professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, reported earlier this year that more than 1,800 newspapers have merged or folded in America since 2004. Roughly 300 weeklies have started up in the same period, but that’s still a net decline of 1,500. Smaller rural communities have suffered the most; according to Abernathy, nearly 200 counties, home to more than 3 million people, have no daily or weekly newspaper.
