Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) might be building a strong final lead in his close race against Democratic businesswoman Mary Burke, according to Marquette University Law School's final poll of the season — and it's mostly thanks to a possible enthusiasm advantage among Republican voters.

Walker has 50 percent support among likely voters, against Burke with 43 percent. The survey of likely voters was conducted from Oct. 23 to 26, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
