Poll looks at presidential race in Wis.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump continues to take the lead in the Republican presidential poll, even hitting a new high at 41 percent.

When asked to name the one person they would most like to see win the election, about one in three respondents chose Trump. A poll released Sunday by CBS News had Clinton with a more narrow 22-percentage-point lead over Sanders. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic nomination. The margin of error on the full sample was plus or minus 4.2 percentage points. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are especially confident in a Clinton victory; 78 to 85 percent view her as the likely victor (including 89 to 94 percent of her own primary supporters). Almost two-thirds of respondents – Democrat and Republican – said they oppose her becoming president.

Still, there are sharp divisions in expectations for Trump among leaned Republicans, reflecting the party’s polarization.

Among likely caucus-goers who are Republican college graduates, Trump receives 20 percent, while Cruz gets 26 percent and Rubio gets 24 percent.

This is quite a big jump as three weeks ago, Trump, 69, trailed Cruz by four points in this crucial state.

Trump also dominates other polls as the Iowa caucus, happening on February 1, is fast approaching.

Leaned Republicans are about as confident that Trump would beat Clinton (75 percent) as are leaned Democrats that Clinton would beat Trump (78 percent). Democrats vote on February 27. Martin O’Malley has only 1 percent support.

Trump would see less support if U.S. Sen.

“If Clinton carries Iowa, she can absorb a defeat to Sanders who has a home field advantage in New Hampshire and then move on to SC”, he added.

The poll found 28 percent of Tennessee Republicans said they are undecided. He also is favored to win New Hampshire’s primary the following week, and 40 years of primary history suggests that kind of momentum is likely impossible to halt.

Asked how they would react “if your local school board proposed a referendum to increase taxes for schools”, 55 percent say they would be inclined to vote for the referendum while 35 percent say they would be inclined to vote against. Ron Johnson, by a 50-to-37 point margin.

Seventy-seven percent of those polled overwhelmingly supported management of the Great Lakes for environmental purposes and just 12% for economic purposes.
