by Lisa Mathias

Has the number of conservatives in Wisconsin surpassed the number of moderates? That would be the case, according to two different, recent polls conducted statewide. The Journal Sentinel’s Craig Gilbert breaks it down, and turns to David Winston for some explanation:

The article also includes insight pulled from The WG’s Kristen Soltis, from her recent Huffington Post piece.
