Walker trails Clinton, head-to-head matchup, 52%-42% Bush trails Clinton by a smaller margin, 47%-42

Hillary is holding steady--yet Bernie has bitten into her lead.


This is a Wisconsin state poll only--one of the big ones in WI.


............His job approval rating is at its worst in three years of Marquette polling, at 39% approval and 57% disapproval. Walker trails Clinton, the former secretary of state, in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup, 52%-42%, while former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush trails Clinton by a smaller margin, 47%-42%.



Clinton's lead shrinks

On the Democratic side, Clinton was leading at 44%, with U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont surging to 32%. Amid revelations about her use of a personal email for work as U.S. secretary of state, Clinton's lead eroded since April, when she garnered 58%, with Sanders not even an option and Vice President Joe Biden at 12%, the same spot he's in now.

but the polls are proving that approval ratings mean little to voters.

It is virtually impossible for Bernie to catch her and the numbers over Bush and Walker are remaining pretty steady. In the end this will be a 4-5 point election. The country is too polarized for it to be much greater.

and unless Sanders is nominated, that streak is likely to continue.
