MADISON, Wis. — Clark County Circuit Court Judge Lyndsey Brunette leads the race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to a new statewide Blueprint Polling survey of likely 2027 spring election voters. Brunette leads Judge Pedro Colón 12% to 7% on the initial ballot, and her lead grows to 21 points, 36% to 15%, after voters hear positive biographical information about both candidates.

Brunette’s support is broad. After the candidate biographies, she leads 58% to 22% among liberal voters, 60% to 23% among Democrats, 57% to 24% among 2024 Harris voters, and 50% to 24% among Democratic-leaning independents. Her lead holds in every age group. Among women, who are projected to be the majority of voters in the 2027 spring election, Brunette leads nearly three-to-one, 42% to 14%.

“Judge Lyndsey Brunette has the background and experience Wisconsinites want to see on our state Supreme Court,” said Brunette for Wisconsin Campaign Manager Joyce DeCoursey Brennan. “They want an experienced judge who will always follow the law to protect our fundamental rights and freedoms — that’s exactly what Judge Brunette has done her entire career. Over the past seven months, we have heard directly from Wisconsinites who are energized about this race and the opportunity to reinforce our progressive majority. This poll backs up the energy we’re seeing, and we’re excited to continue growing our campaign.”

The full polling memo is available here.

Blueprint Polling conducted a statewide SMS-to-web survey of 654 likely 2027 spring election voters in Wisconsin on October 29–30, 2026. The margin of error is ±3.8 percentage points.
