Join Marquette University for a timely and stimulating breakfast discussion of the polarized political climate and learn what’s on voters’ minds.

Through our Law School and Aspin Center for Government, we are uncovering what’s behind today’s political polarity. Learn what the Law School is discovering about the extreme political climate in Wisconsin as it conducts the largest independent poll in the state’s history, led by national recognized pollster and voter analyst Dr. Charles Franklin. You’ll also hear from Chris Murray about what’s happening on the East Coast and elsewhere and what it means for the Presidential race.

The day after Super Tuesday, you won’t want to miss the experts’ take on the 2012 election – who’s up, who’s down and what the voters are thinking.
