If this poll is accurate, there is something terribly wrong with Wisconsin

With millions of dollars in ads buttressing his case and millions more spent on attacking Barnes over the past two months, Johnson has stormed from behind over the last few months in the poll.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel editorial board responds:

He’s an election falsifier who recklessly promoted lies about the 2020 presidential race long after it was clear Donald Trump lost. 

He’s a science fabulist who suggested, without evidence, that the COVID-19 vaccines could make the pandemic worse and who repeatedly touted unproven remedies for the disease — from Ivermectin to mouthwash. 

He's tried to rewrite the sordid history of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, claiming the attackers were "people that love this country, that truly respect law enforcement, would never do anything to break the law." 

He suggested the government should rewrite the rules for the two government programs seniors rely on most — Medicare and Social Security — making them subject to annual political fights in Congress rather than mandatory payments as promised. [emphasis added]
