A new NBC News/Marist poll of Wisconsin voters released Thursday finds Republican Gov. Scott Walker (R) behind his Democratic opponent, Tony Evers.

Among likely voters, Evers leads Walker by 10 points, 53 percent to 43 percent, in a head-to-head matchup. Among registered voters, his lead drops to 9 points, 52 percent to 43 percent. In July's NBC/Marist poll, Evers had a 13-point lead. Evers is ahead with Democrats, nonwhite voters, women, and independents, while Walker leads among Republicans, whites without a college degree, and men.
