How have voters reacted to the end of the Mueller investigation, and have they changed their views of the investigation or of President Trump? The poll looks at reactions to several elements of the investigation and what conclusions voters have drawn.

This is the first Marquette Law School Poll since January and the first since the release of Gov. Tony Evers’ proposed budget. Franklin will examine public reaction to Evers’ policy priorities in the budget and how voters view the relationship between Evers and the state legislature.

The poll also provides a look at how the Democratic presidential primary field stands with Wisconsin voters and how voters view the 2020 presidential election.

The Marquette Law School Poll is the most extensive statewide polling project in Wisconsin history. Franklin has directed the poll since its inception in 2012 and is a professor of law and public policy at Marquette Law School. Franklin cofounded pollster.com, an award-winning site for nonpartisan polling analysis, and is a member of the ABC News election-night analysis team.

Gousha, an award-winning broadcast journalist, is the Law School’s distinguished fellow in law and public policy. His “On the Issues” series of conversations with newsmakers supports Marquette Law School’s commitment to serve as a modern-day public square for the city of Milwaukee, the state of Wisconsin and beyond.

Through public programming such as the Marquette Law School Poll, debates featuring candidates in significant political races, Gousha’s “On the Issues” conversations with newsmakers, public lectures by leading scholars and conferences on significant issues of public importance, the Law School serves as the region’s leading venue for serious civil discourse about law and public policy matters.

The event is open to members of the general public at no cost; registration is required and is available online. Members of the media who are interested in attending should contact Kevin Conway in the Office of Marketing and Communication at (414) 288-4745 or kevin.m.conway@marquette.edu.
