It really is too early for polls but would love to see this Evers poll continue to trend in the positive.

The growing trend of coffee shop workers voting to join labor unions already included Wisconsin, but now it includes the first Starbucks workforce in the state after workers voted 15-8 to organize at a shop in the Milwaukee suburb of Oak Creek.

There are now 35 unionized Starbucks stores in 15 states.

Last month the National Labor Relations Board cleared the way for employees at 15 Colectivo coffee shops in Milwaukee, Madison, and Chicago to collectively bargain as part of a recognized union.

Workers at both chains said they acted in order to have a say in working conditions, pay, scheduling, and benefits.
Voters to Pollsters: Not Yet. Try Later.

Only minor changes can be seen in the new Marquette Law School Poll among the candidates running for marquee offices this fall—with most voters in Wisconsin believing it's far too early to commit to a specific candidate.

Among the Democrats seeking to challenge Sen. Ron Johnson this fall, Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes continues to lead the primary field, though the lead is slightly narrower than before.

Barnes has 19% support compared to 16% for Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry, 7% for state Treasurer Sarah Godlewski, and 5% for Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson. All other Democratic candidates garnered support of 1% or less. And 48% of Democratic respondents had no preference.

Johnson continues to be underwater in his favorability ratings: 46% say they have an unfavorable opinion vs. 35% favorable. In 2016, shortly before winning reelection, Johnson had a net-positive favorability rating, 43% to 39%.

Among Republicans seeking to challenge Gov. Tony Evers this fall, former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch maintains a 22-point lead over businessman Kevin Nicholson, 32% to 10%. State Rep. Timothy Ramthun has 5% support. And 46% of Republican respondents had no preference. The poll was begun before businessman Tim Michels entered the race.

Evers' favorability rating has a net positive result, 47% to 42%, which pollster Charles Franklin said is noteworthy since a slight majority of all respondents say they think Wisconsin is on the wrong track.

"It's striking that people can be this pessimistic about the state and its direction and still have a net positive approval rating of Tony Evers," said Franklin.

The survey of 805 registered Wisconsin voters has a margin of error of +/- 4.1%.
