ELECTION/JOE BIDEN/POLLS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump by 9 percentage points in a hypothetical general election matchup in Wisconsin, one of the key states the president snatched from Democrats to win the White House in 2016. A Marquette University Law School poll released Wednesday shows Trump’s approval among registered Wisconsin voters at 45 percent, while 53 percent disapprove of Trump. The poll also shows Sen. Bernie Sanders leading Trump in a head-to-head contest by a 4-point margin, while Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris were tied with Trump in the survey. In each case, Trump’s numbers hovered in the 40s, which the Marquette poll’s director sees as an indicator of Wisconsin voters’ strong, baked-in feelings about the president…Franklin said Marquette polling shows Trump’s approval rating in Wisconsin has not fluctuated significantly so far during his term in office.”
