Vice President Harris has a 7-point lead over former President Trump among likely voters in Wisconsin, according to a poll from Wisconsin Watch and The MassINC Polling Group released Monday.
In the poll, conducted Sept. 12-18, Harris gets 53 percent support to Trump’s 46 percent support, in a head-to-head matchup.
In a multi-candidate race, Harris’s advantage over Trump ticks up by 1 point, with 51 percent support, followed by Trump’s 43 percent. Former third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Green Party candidate Jill Stein each get 1 percent. Another 2 percent say they are undecided, and 1 percent say they prefer not to answer.
Harris also has the edge among undecided voters, though it’s closer. When undecided voters were asked which way they lean, Trump’s support ticked up by 2 percentage points.
Kennedy ended his presidential bid and threw his support behind Trump last month. Kennedy has since launched a legal campaign to remove his name from the ballots in states where he thinks it could negatively affect Trump’s chances at winning.
His efforts have found some success so far. Wisconsin’s Supreme Court on Friday agreed to make a ruling on the issue, after Kennedy filed a lawsuit on Sept. 3. But in other states, such as Michigan, he will remain on the ballot.
Harris continues to perform well in Wisconsin polls, compared to President Biden’s performance before he dropped out of the race, and compared to Harris’s performance in other critical battleground states.
In the Decision Desk HQ Wisconsin polling average, Harris leads Trump by 2.2 percentage points, 49.6 percent to 47.4 percent. She leads by 1.2 points in both Michigan and Pennsylvania.
The latest poll includes 800 likely voters in Wisconsin and has a margin of error of 3.8 percentage points.
