SOURCE CHECK
TAP FOR WHYThe Badger Herald identifies an author and reports specific polling figures alongside comments from a named university expert. The available information offers limited basis for assessing its corrections practices or broader record, so the assessment is moderate.
- Source type — A student newspaper provides a recognizable publishing institution, though its source type is recorded as unknown.
- Transparency — The article identifies the polling organization and attributes interpretation to a named academic.
- Author attribution — A named author is credited.
The article gives precise poll results, identifies Marquette University Law School as the source, and includes comments from a named academic. It provides little detail about the poll's methodology and does not include comments from the candidates or their campaigns.
HOW WE SCORE ↗The story presents results for both candidates and includes context from a named academic. It does not include candidate or campaign responses, though the article is primarily a report of polling data.
- Source diversity — Poll findings are supplemented with a named academic's interpretation, but no campaign perspectives appear.
- Counterarguments presented — Both candidates' polling figures are reported, while direct responses from either campaign are absent.
- Loaded language — The article uses restrained language and attributes judgments about negative advertising to the expert.
The article reports polling figures and an expert's explanation in neutral language, without evident partisan framing. Its focus on negative advertising is attributed to the expert.
- Language tone — The wording is largely neutral and descriptive.
- Source selection — The article cites poll findings and a named academic rather than campaign advocates.
- Framing — The close margins are presented as poll results, not as evidence favoring either candidate.

A Marquette University Law School poll showed Crowley ahead of Tiffany 46% to 45% among registered voters, with 9% undecided. Among likely voters, Crowley led 49% to 46%, with 5% undecided.

He said the race is close and that turnout could determine the result, which might not be known until late on election night or early the next morning.
