在这项新民调中，44%的可能选民支持这位前共和党美国众议院议员，而Tiffany在9月获得了46%的支持。4%的选民表示在周二的中期选举前仍未决定。
Forty-four percent of likely voters in this new poll backed the former Republican U.S. House member, after Tiffany received 46 percent support in September. Four percent of voters said they were still undecided in this contest ahead of the midterm election on Tuesday.

马凯特调查还发现，州内民主党选民对本次选举的投票热情更高——这反映出全国选举周期中民主党与共和党之间更大的热情差距。该调查中，82%的民主党选民表示对在中期选举中投票“非常”或“有点”热情，而共和党选民为74%。
The Marquette survey also found there was greater excitement among Democratic voters in the state to vote in this election — mirroring a larger enthusiasm gap among Republicans and Democrats playing out nationwide this election cycle. Eighty-two percent of Democratic voters in this survey said they were either “very” or “somewhat” enthusiastic about casting their ballot in the midterms, compared to 74 percent of Republican voters.
马凯特民调于10月14日至22日对818名威斯康星州登记选民进行，误差幅度约为4.3个百分点。在668名可能选民中，误差幅度约为4.7个百分点。
