(WPR)---A recent Marquette University Law School Poll shows high approval ratings for one prominent Republican and lower approval ratings for another.
House Speaker Paul Ryan has an 80 percent approval among Republicans statewide. And even when Democrats are included, Ryan's approval statewide sits at 54 percent.
The Marquette University Law School released the poll Wednesday, the day after Ryan won his Republican primary with 84 percent of the vote. That far outpaces Republican Gov. Scott Walker whose approval rating is at just 38 percent, unchanged from July.
Walker's approval rating was at 43 percent in March just before Wisconsin's presidential primary. It first fell below 40 percent nearly a year ago, just before he dropped out of the Republican race for president.
Walker has largely focused on state politics since dropping out of the race, but he returned to the national spotlight in July with a prime-time speech at the Republican National Convention endorsing Donald Trump.
The Marquette Law School Poll was conducted Aug. 4 through Sunday, sampling 805 registered Wisconsin voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.6 points. The error margin is 5 points among likely voters.
CLINTON LEADS TRUMP
Most Wisconsin voters still don't like presidential nominees Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton very much.
The new poll shows 65 percent of registered voters have an unfavorable view of Trump, a Republican. Clinton's unfavorable rating is at 53 percent.
Trump's view with voters worsened from July when 63 percent had an unfavorable opinion. Clinton's improved from 58 percent last month.
The poll shows Clinton, a Democrat, leading Trump by 10 points among registered voters and 15 points among likely voters. Last month she was ahead by 6 points among registered voters and 4 points with likely voters.
President Barack Obama's approval rating statewide among registered voters is 53 percent.
FEINGOLD AND JOHNSON
The poll also shows about a third of Wisconsin voters still don't have an opinion of incumbent Republican Sen. Ron Johnson with just three months to go before the November election.
The poll shows 31 percent of registered voters don't have an opinion of Johnson, compared with 18 percent for Democratic challenger Russ Feingold.
The poll shows Feingold leading Johnson by 6 points among registered voters and 11 points among likely voters.
In July, Feingold was up 5 points among likely voters and 7 points among registered voters.
