Marquette poll: Hillary Clinton opens 15-point post-convention lead in Wisconsin

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.

..........................

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.

Feingold's lead among likely voters increased from five points in the July poll.

The Marquette Poll is considered the gold standard in Wisconsin polling.
Glad to see they polled likely voters.

CONGRATULATIONS TO HILLARY AND RUSS FEINGOLD

1. What blew me away was not HRC's lead

What amazed me was that Russ Feingold was only leading Johnson by 7 or so.

I would have thought it would be Feingold's popularity pulling Hillary up, and not the other way around.

2. Teabagger money pouring in for Johnson lately. Plus he has the Walker machine behind him.

3. trump supporters

.... you must take the next exit ... to no where ... Twilight Zone, for real.

4. trump the skunk

... he smells bad, real bad, Americans ain't gonna buy his shiat anymore.

6. He still seems to get that 40% over and over. damn

8. It's the "racement."

What astonishes me is that Donald Trump's "racement" is ten to fifteen points higher than the "Bush Basement," the 25-30% approval rating of George W. Bush for most of his second term.

We know that 23% of all Americans are right-wing authoritarians, who are racist and illogical. The rest of Bush's approval came from sociopaths, wealthy people, and those who aspired to be.

So who in the fuck is the other ten percent of Donald Trump's support?

Hillary Clinton's lead over Donald Trump has tripled in Wisconsin since July, with the Democratic nominee now holding a double-digit advantage, according to a Marquette University Law School poll of likely voters released Wednesday.

Clinton leads Trump by 15 percentage points, with 52 percent support to Trump’s 37 percent support. Seven percent said they would vote for neither candidate, while 3 percent said they were undecided.

Clinton led Trump by just 4 percentage points in July before both parties convened their nominating conventions last month.

In a four-way contest including Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein, Clinton leads with 47 percent, followed by Trump at 34 percent, Johnson at 9 percent and Stein at 3 percent with 4 percent undecided and 2 percent choosing neither candidate.

Clinton’s unfavorability rating nearly equals her favorability, a relative plus for a candidate who, like Trump, has historically high negatives nationally. Her net favorability is -1 percent, (48 percent favorable, 49 percent unfavorable), while Trump’s is -37 percent (28 percent favorable, 65 percent unfavorable)....................

7. Any chance of knocking off Paul Ryan?

Tom Foley was the only Speaker to lose reelection since the Civil War, but one can always hope.
