For the last week, Wisconsinites in every region of the state have seen this TV ad from the @WisDems calling on Ron Johnson to resign from the United States Senate.

This ad was funded by grassroots supporters who know Johnson shouldn’t be Wisconsin’s Senator.

The poll, conducted by @DataForProgress for @MoveOn, asked voters if they think Senator Johnson should resign. 18% of Republicans said yes. So did 56% of independents and 92% of Democrats.

Those are jaw-dropping numbers.

This poll was conducted January 10 to 12—after the insurrection at the capitol and *before* the @WisDems ad campaign. It’s possible numbers have moved even further since.

The poll also found stunning support across party for Johnson’s replacement:

In a polling question referencing the 14th Amendment and Johnson’s role in attempting to overturn the results of the election, not only did 52% of voters support expelling Johnson from the Senate—only 39% opposed it.

Ron Johnson isn’t just losing his power this week as a committee chair. He’s also lost Wisconsin’s voters. The path to unity starts with accountability. Ron Johnson should resign from the US Senate. If you agree, sign this petition, and share this thread. wisdems.org/ron-johnson-mu…
