MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) – A new poll from the UW-Madison Elections Research Center shows that Joe Biden has held onto a lead over President Trump in several key battleground states.
The polling comes from Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and shows that Democrat candidate Joe Biden is getting support from about half of the voters in all three states. Among likely voters in Wisconsin, Biden leads Trump, 50 to 46-percent. Biden leads in Pennsylvania, 49-to-45 percent. Biden leads in Michigan, 51-to-45 percent.
Researchers call the leads ‘persistent, but surmountable’ for Trump, but say that Trump didn’t even reach the 50 percent margin in his victories in 2016. Nearly half of Biden supporters said the COVID-19 pandemic was the most important top issue while Trump supporters named the economy the top issue.
The polls margins of error are 4-percent.
