The Wisconsin gubernatorial race between incumbent Gov. Scott Walker (R) and Wisconsin state schools Superintendent Tony Evers is dead-even, according to a new Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday.
Walker, who is seeking a third term as governor, and Evers each get 47 percent support among likely voters in The Badger State less than a week before the midterm elections.
Three percent said they would support Libertarian candidate Phil Anderson and one percent is undecided. Walker led by one point in the same poll from earlier this month.

Former President Obama endorsed Evers earlier this month.
Walker is seen struggling in his reelection bid, with Democrats eyeing his seat as an opportunity to flip one of several governorships across the country up for grabs this year.
The Cook Political Report rates the race as a “toss up.”
Marquette University Law school surveyed 1,154 likely Wisconsin voters from Oct. 24-28. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.2 percent.
