Share
President Joe Biden leads former President Donald Trump 50 - 44 percent in a head-to-head matchup, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University poll of registered voters in Wisconsin released today.
Democrats (97 - 2 percent) and independents (50 - 43 percent) back Biden, while Republicans (95 - 3 percent) back Trump.
When the matchup is expanded to include independent and Green Party candidates, the race is too close to call. Biden receives 40 percent support, Trump receives 39 percent support, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. receives 12 percent support, Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 4 percent support, and independent candidate Cornel West receives 1 percent support.
Among voters who support Biden in the head-to-head matchup, 80 percent support him in the 5-way race, 11 percent support Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., 7 percent support Jill Stein, and 2 percent support Cornel West.
Among voters who support Trump in the head-to-head matchup, 87 percent support him in the 5-way race, 10 percent support Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., 1 percent support Cornel West, and 1 percent support Jill Stein.
"While the modest lead for Biden in the head-to-head will certainly resonate with his base, when all the candidates are thrown into the mix the race between Biden and Trump is basically a tie," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

- abortion: 54 percent say Biden, while 36 percent say Trump;
- preserving democracy in the United States: 51 percent say Biden, while 42 percent say Trump;

U.S. SENATE RACE
Incumbent Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin leads Republican challenger Eric Hovde 54 - 42 percent in the race for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin.

Nearly half of voters (49 percent) have a favorable opinion of Baldwin, while 35 percent have an unfavorable opinion of her, and 15 percent say they haven't heard enough about her.
Twenty-three percent of voters have a favorable opinion of Hovde, while 25 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him, and 50 percent say they haven't heard enough about him.

Voters 50 - 38 percent oppose the student protests being held on college and university campuses responding to Israel's actions in Gaza, with 11 percent not offering an opinion.

A vast majority of voters (73 percent) think the protests will not make a difference, 13 percent think the protests will help Palestinians in Gaza, and 7 percent think the protests will hurt Palestinians in Gaza.
"With the exception of young people and Democrats, Wisconsin voters take a hardline on student protests with a stern warning: if you set up camp and then refuse to leave, you deserve to be arrested. And for all the risks demonstrators are taking, a vast majority of voters think it will make no difference to the people of Gaza," added Malloy.
