Former President Trump and Vice President Harris are in a tight race in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state, as Election Day approaches, according to a recent poll. A USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll revealed that Trump and Harris are nearly tied in Wisconsin, with Trump at 48% and Harris at 47% among 500 likely voters statewide. The results are within the 4.4 percentage points margin of error.
Interestingly, Harris is leading Trump in Door County, Wisconsin, which has historically been a predictor of the election outcome. In Door County, Harris is ahead of Trump by 50% to 47% among 300 likely voters, falling within the 5.7 percentage points margin of error.
Wisconsin, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, is part of the “Blue Wall” states that are crucial in determining the election outcome. In 2020, Wisconsin flipped back to the Democrats, with President Biden winning the state by a narrow margin. Wisconsin has a significant White working-class population, with 58% of voters being White without a college degree, which is higher than the national average by 15 points.
The poll also highlighted that Harris holds a 14-point lead over Trump among women in Wisconsin, with 55% supporting Harris and 41% supporting Trump. On the other hand, Trump leads Harris by 18 percentage points among men, with 56% supporting Trump and 38% supporting Harris.
Both Trump and Harris are actively campaigning in swing states like Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, which will play a crucial role in deciding the election. Early voting has already begun in Wisconsin, with 850,163 ballots cast as of Monday morning, contributing to the nationwide total of over 41 million votes cast.
In light of the upcoming Election Day, both candidates are intensifying their efforts to secure crucial swing states and ultimately win the election. The race in Wisconsin remains close and will likely come down to the wire as voters make their final decisions.
