MADISON – New polling released by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce (WMC) on Wednesday shows the candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court tied among likely voters for the April 1 election.

The polling, conducted between March 9-10, shows a 47-47 split between former Attorney General Brad Schimel and Judge Susan Crawford. Five percent of voters are yet undecided in the race.

“Like many Wisconsin statewide elections, this race is very close and will come down to the wire,” shared WMC Vice President of Government Relations Scott Manley. “This is a winnable race for either candidate right now, and will simply boil down to whichever side does a better job of getting out their voters. It really cannot be overstated how much is on the line.”

Additionally, the poll found that the largest percent of voters are undecided in the race for the state’s top education position. Thirty-eight percent of likely voters have not decided who they will cast their ballots for, while 33% plan to vote for Jill Underly and 30% plan to vote for Brittany Kinzer for state Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction.

The poll of 600 likely spring election voters was conducted by OnMessage Inc. between March 9-10, 2025 with a +/- 4.0% margin of error.
