Joe Biden leads President Trump in latest MU Law poll

Biden holds a 47% to 43% lead over the president in Wisconsin, one of several findings of the most recent Marquette University Law School poll.

MILWAUKEE - The latest Marquette University Law School Poll released on Wednesday, Sept. 9 shows among likely Wisconsin voters 47% say they will vote for Joe Biden and 43% say they will vote for Donald Trump in the presidential election.

In early August, it was Biden 49% and Trump 44%. In June, it was Biden 50%, Trump 44%.

Approval of President Trump’s response to protests rose following his visit to Kenosha among Republicans but shifted only slightly among other voters.
Gov. Tony Evers’ job approval has fallen to pre-coronavirus levels after a period of increased approval.
Parents of school-age children have grown more uncomfortable with reopening schools.
