What Do Voters Want in 2012?
Featuring the latest results of the Marquette Law School Poll

Join Marquette University for a timely discussion about the upcoming election.

Through the Law School and Les Aspin Center for Government, we are uncovering what’s behind today’s political polarity. Dig deeper into the latest poll numbers for the presidential and other key races, and hear from Dr. Charles Franklin and Mike Gousha as they share what we’ve learned from the largest independent polling project in Wisconsin's history. Chris Murray will discuss what’s happening nationwide and what it means for Congress and the federal outlook. You’ll also hear from Rev. Timothy O’Brien, Director, Marquette University Les Aspin Center for Government, and Joseph D. Kearney, Dean, Marquette University Law School

As Election Day 2012 approaches, you won’t want to miss the experts’ take on who’s up, who’s down and what the voters are thinking.
