New WI Poll: HRC leads by 15--Feingold by 11
Hillary Clinton has opened a 15-point lead over Donald Trump in Wisconsin among likely voters in the latest Marquette Law School Poll.
The poll is the first in Wisconsin since Trump and Clinton accepted their respective party's nomination at the Republican and Democratic national conventions last month.
Before the conventions, Clinton led Trump among likely voters by only four points, 45-41, but in the latest poll leads 52-37. Among registered voters she led by six points, 43-37, before the convention and now leads 46-36.
Poll director Charles Franklin said the race is currently looking more like the 2008 election, in which Barack Obama won Wisconsin by 14 points, than the 2004, when John Kerry won Wisconsin by a very narrow margin.
In the closely watched U.S. Senate race, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson trailed former Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold by 11 points among likely voters, 53-42. Among registered voters, Feingold leads 49-43.
