From Eric Dondero:

The Headline at Johnson's website says it all:

Ron takes the lead, 47 to 46!

This is the very first poll to show ultra-liberal Democrat incumbent Sen. Russ Feingold falling behind his likely Republican opponent. Rasmussen now gives a slight edge to GOPer Ron Johnson.

Just released from Rasmussen:

Feingold and his chief Republican challenger Ron Johnson remain locked in a neck-and-neck battle for the U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Wisconsin finds Johnson with 47% support, while the Democrat earns 46% of the vote. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

A previous poll by Rasmussen had Feingold ahead 46 to 44%.

Johnson is a devotee of liberty philospher Ayn Rand. From a George Will column in May:

the idea of running for office never crossed Ron Johnson's mind. He was, however, dry tinder -- he calls Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" his "foundational book" -- and now is ablaze, in an understated, upper-Midwestern way. This 55-year-old manufacturer of plastic products from Oshkosh is what the tea party looks like.
