In the Wisconsin Senate race, incumbent Democrat Tammy Baldwin owns a 53 to 43 percent lead on Republican challenger Leah Vukmir. That's a one-percent drop from the September poll.

For Attorney General, incumbent GOP candidate Brad Schimel leads Democratic challenger Josh Kaul 47 to 43 percent. Schimel's lead has dropped from a seven-percent advantage in September.
