A new Marquette Law School Poll survey of Wisconsin finds Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris supported by 50% of likely voters and Republican former President Donald Trump supported by 49%, in a head-to-head matchup. These results include initially undecided voters who were then asked for whom they would vote for if they had to choose. In the previous poll in late September, Harris received 52% and Trump 48% among likely voters. Keeping initially undecided voters as a separate category, Harris holds 48% of likely voters, Trump gets 47%, and 5% are undecided.

In a multicandidate race, Harris also leads, with 46% to Trump’s 44%, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. receives 5%, the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Claudia De la Cruz 0%, Libertarian Party’s Chase Oliver 2%, Green Party candidate Jill Stein 1%, Constitution Party candidate Randall Terry 0%, and independent Cornel West 1%, among likely voters. Kennedy suspended his campaign on Aug. 23 but remains on the Wisconsin ballot.

In the U.S. Senate race, Sen. Tammy Baldwin is supported by 51% to Eric Hovde’s 49% among likely voters. These results include initially undecided voters who were then asked whom they would vote for if they had to choose. When initially undecided voters are kept as a separate category, Baldwin is the choice of 48% and Hovde the choice of 45%, with 7% still undecided.

When the Senate ballot includes independent candidates, Baldwin receives 49% and Hovde 47% among likely voters. Phil Anderson, the “Disrupt the Corruption” Party candidate, receives 2% and Thomas Leager, of the “America First” Party, receives 1%.
