Gov. Scott Walker approval rating at 38 percent
As in previous polls, there remain the high negativity ratings for both Clinton and Trump. Among Trump voters, dislike of Secretary Clinton is even a larger factor in their choice. The former governor of New Mexico has broken into double-digit support in OH and Iowa (12 percent in each state) and improved in Pennsylvania (9 percent).
Trump is viewed favorably by just 27% of Wisconsin’s registered voters, while 65% view him unfavorably. In July, likely voters gave Clinton 45 percent support, Trump 41 percent and 14 percent said they would vote for neither.
The latest poll of 805 registered voters and 683 likely voters in Wisconsin was conducted August 4-7 via landlines and cellphones.
Among likely voters in November’s election, Feingold has the support of 53 percent while Johnson is supported by 42 percent. One third of voters say they don’t know enough about Johnson to have an opinion of him. In national polls, Trump received a bump from his convention, but Clinton received a slightly bigger bump and now leads by almost eight points.
Among registered voters, 47 percent identified as Democrats, 44 percent identified as Republicans and 8 percent identified as independents. Those were classified as likely voters, with a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points.
Gov. Scott Walker’s approval rating remains below 40 percent.
Of course, Michelle, Barack, Bill or Melania aren’t running for president. The results gave tax and fee hikes a slight at edge at 43 percent, while 33 percent favored cutting projects and 12 percent said the state should borrow money.
Three out of five registered voters said immigrants in the country illegally should be allowed to stay.
