Poll Obama up in Wisconsin 54-40 - Just released Marquette law school poll [View all]

MILWAUKEE - The newly-released Marquette University Law School Poll says that two Democratic candidates for election in Wisconsin have opened up larger leads.

Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Baldwin, who represents Madison in Congress, leads former Wisconsin Republican Governor and U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Serivces Tommy Thompson, 50 to 41 percent.

Thompson had led Baldwin by the same percentage in a previous version of the poll from August 16-19.

In the Presidential race, President Barack Obama (D) led Mitt Romney (R), 54-40.

According to poll director Prof. Charles Franklin, Mr. Obama grabbed a big bump from the Democratic National Convention. His 14 percent margin on Romney is the biggest of the year so far.

When it came to the Senate race, Franklin said independent voters supported Thompson back in August, 47-37 percent. This month, they supported Baldwin 50-38.

The poll had a margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.8 percent. 705 registered Wisconsin voters took part when the poll was conducted on Sept. 13-16.

Poll administrators caution that respondents in the latest poll were more heavily Democratic than in previous Marquette polls. The September poll was two percentage points more Democratic and three points less Republican than average, however, still within the poll’s margin of error. When adjusted to average partisan makeup, Baldwin’s lead would be 48-43 percent, while Obama’s lead would be 51-43 percent.
