Poll: Chris Taylor (D) leads Maria Lazar (R) in Wisconsin Supreme Court race
With two weeks to go until the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, a new poll shows liberal Appeals Court Judge Chris Taylor maintains her lead over conservative Appeals Court Judge Maria Lazar, though a majority of voters said they remain undecided.
And while the race is officially nonpartisan, the survey also found Democrats are far more enthusiastic than Republicans about voting in the April 7 election.
The Marquette University Law School surveyed 850 registered voters this month, and 23 percent of respondents said they’d vote for Taylor while 17 percent said they’d vote for Lazar. Another 53 percent said they haven’t decided who they’ll vote for.
After record breaking spending in the 2023 and 2025 Supreme Court races, the Marquette survey has found this year’s contest has largely flown under the radar. Two weeks out from the election, the poll found only 12 percent reported hearing or reading a lot about the race for the state’s highest court, a slight drop from last month. Another 57 percent said they’d heard a little.
