WI-Sen/WI-Gov: Dems hurting with six weeks to go (Steve Singiser, Sep 21, 2010, Daily Kos))

Ron Johnson (R) 52 (43)
Sen. Russ Feingold (D) 41 (45)

An enormous enthusiasm gap, coupled with a Republican nominee fresh from a decisive primary win and unsullied by the primary process, has catapulted Republican nominee Ron Johnson to a double-digit advantage over incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold, according to PPP's poll of the state on behalf of Daily Kos. [...]

Meanwhile, in the battle to replace Democratic Governor Jim Doyle, the results are only incrementally better:

Public Policy Polling for Daily Kos. Governor. 9/18-9/19. Likely Voters. MoE 3.8% (6/27 results)

Scott Walker (R) 50 (45)
Tom Barrett (D) 41 (38)

...has to be considered risky for the Democrats.
