It appears to be Wisconsin polling week at PPP.  Earlier this week they showed Governor Jim Doyle in big electoral trouble.  But whatever factors are weighing Doyle down don't seem to be affecting Democratic Senator Russ Feingold.  PPP has Feingold up 51%-39% over Representative Paul Ryan; he's enjoying a decent 53%-36% approval rating.

Ryan is viewed as a rising GOP House star, and seems unlikely to challenge Feingold; right now Feingold's only opposition is Constitution Party candidate Rob Taylor.  It's a little bit disconcerting for Feingold that he is toying with 51% while President Obama is riding high in the polls, and Feingoldhas underperformed against weak candidates in the past. Still, as things stand it is unlikely that Feingold is going anywhere other than back to the Senate anytime in the near future.
