MU Law Poll
MILWAUKEE -- A new Marquette University Law Poll released on Thursday, Feb. 27 says Senator Bernie Sanders leads the Democratic presidential primary field with the support of 29 percent of expected Democratic voters in the April 7 primary. This is the first time in six Marquette Law polls since August 2019 that Sanders has topped the Democratic field.
In the January poll, Sanders was supported by 19 percent, which was second to Vice President Joe Biden. Bloomberg had six percent in January.
Who is the second choice in the Democratic primary? Twenty-three percent say Elizabeth Warren, 16 percent say Joe Biden, 15 percent say Pete Buttigieg, 13 percent say Sanders, 13 percent say Amy Klobuchar, and 10 percent say Bloomberg.
On the Republican front
Forty-eight percent of respondents say they approve of the job President Donald Trump is doing. Conversely, 48 percent disapprove. Poll Director Charles Franklin indicates this is the first poll since the president took office in which his disapproval was not higher than his approval.
