Trump, Biden neck and neck in Wisconsin: Poll

President Biden and former President Trump are neck and neck in Wisconsin, new polling shows.
A Marquette Law School Poll survey of Wisconsin voters found Trump with 51 percent support among surveyed voters to Biden’s 49 percent.
That 2-point split is within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points — but it shows Trump with a slight leg up since January, when the poll found the former president and Biden tied at 49 percent each among registered Wisconsinites.
Polling averages from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ show Trump up by 1 percentage point in the state.
Wisconsin is one of a handful of key battleground states that could decide the 2024 election. Trump won the state back in 2016, but Biden won it in 2020 — though it was his narrowest Midwest win that year.
Democrats are counting on the Badger State as part of the “blue wall” in the Midwest, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, to boost Biden in a 2024 rematch with Trump.
Biden easily won this year’s Democratic primary in Wisconsin — but notably saw nearly 50,000 voters cast their ballots for an “uninstructed” delegation, adding to a progressive-led push for protest votes that has cropped up in several states amid frustration over the administration’s handling of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.
The Marquette Law School Poll survey was conducted April 3-10 among 814 Wisconsin registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.

US voters view Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as better for the economy than President Joe Biden, as the incumbent’s approval rating ticked lower in April from the previous month, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. Some 41 percent of respondents in the three-day poll, which closed on Sunday, said Trump, who is expected to face Biden in the Nov. 5 presidential election, has the better approach to the economy, compared to 34 percent who picked Biden.
The rest gave answers that included not being sure or that neither candidate was better.

Trump’s advantage on the economy, which at seven percentage points was well outside the poll’s margin of error, compared to advantages of three points in March and six in February.
Biden, however, had a nine-point advantage over Trump - 38 percent to 29 percent - when respondents were asked who had the better approach to political extremism and protecting democracy, up from eight points in March.
Political extremism narrowly edged out the economy as the top concern for respondents in the poll.
The state of the US economy looms as one of the larger factors weighing on Biden’s hopes of re-election. Voters have been stung by several years of fast-rising consumer prices, though inflation has slowed considerably in recent months and the jobless rate has been below 4 percent for more than two years. Biden’s age, at 81, is also a concern for voters.
In the new Reuters/Ipsos poll, the share of respondents approving of Biden’s performance as president fell marginally to 38 percent from 40 percent in March. The online poll, which surveyed 1,016 US adults nationwide, had a margin of error of three percentage points.
Looming over Trump, 77, are four planned criminal trials, including one that started this week on charges he falsified business records and two others tied to his efforts to overturn his loss to Biden in the 2020 presidential election. Trump falsely claims his 2020 election defeat resulted from fraud, including in a fiery speech shortly before hundreds of his supporters stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Five people died. The two candidates have been close in public opinion polls this year, with Biden leading Trump by four points earlier this month in a separate Reuters/Ipsos survey.
