destina, fotolia

The Wisconsin governor's race is starting to draw broader attention.  Some recent national polls show Democratic candidate Tony Evers ahead of Republican Gov. Scott Walker in hypothetical head-to-head matchups. 

TheNBC News/Marist Poll had Evers ahead of Walker by 13 points, while theEmerson College Epollshowed Evers up by seven.  Evers is one of eight Democrats vying for the chance to face Walker in November. The primary is Aug. 14.  

In this week's Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com what he makes of these polls.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
