MILWAUKEE — The pres- idential race in the state just got a little tighter, but many in a recent poll weren't happy with either of the major candidates. A Marquette Law School Poll taken from Sept. 15 to Sept. 18 finds 44 percent of Wisconsin likely voters sup- porting Democratic candi- date Hillary Clinton for president and 42 percent supporting Republican Donald Trump in a head-to- head matchup. Twelve percent did not express a preference, saying they will vote for neither candidate, will not vote, or don't know how they will vote. Among all registered vot- ers in the new poll, Clinton is supported by 43 percent and Trump by 38 percent, with 15 percent not express- ing a preference. In the previous Marquette Law School Poll, conducted Aug. 25-28, Clinton was supported by 45 percent and Trump by 42 percent among likely voters, with 10 percent not having a preference. Among regis- tered voters in that poll, Clinton held 42 percent to Trump's 37 percent, with 19 percent lacking a prefer- ence. In a four-way matchup including Clinton, Trump, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, Clinton is supported by 41 percent of likely voters in the new poll, with Trump at 38 percent, Johnson at 11 and Stein at 2. A total of 7 percent in that matchup do not give a pref- erence. In the previous four-can- didate matchup Aug. 25-28, Clinton received 41 percent among likely voters, with Trump at 38 percent, Johnson at 10 and Stein at 4, while another 7 percent did not pick a candidate. Discontent with the presidential nominees Unhappiness with their presidential nominee is prevalent among registered voters in both parties. Among Republicans and independents who lean Republican, 68 percent say they would have liked their party to nominate someone other than Trump, while 29 percent say they prefer Trump as the nominee. Among Democrats and inde- pendents who lean Democratic, 48 percent would prefer Bernie Sanders as the nominee while 43 percent prefer Clinton. Even with a high per- centage of voters preferring a different nominee, 61 per- cent of Republicans and independents who lean Republican hold a favorable view of Trump, with 28 per- cent unfavorable. Among Democrats and independ- ents who lean Democratic, 78 percent have a favorable view of Clinton, with 15 percent unfavorable. Among registered voters who say they are Republicans or independ- ents who lean Republican, and who wish the party had a different nominee, Trump receives 65 percent of the vote, with 10 percent sup- porting Clinton and 22 per- cent lacking a preference in the head-to-head matchup. Among Republicans and Republican leaners who like Trump as the nominee, he receives 96 percent of the vote, with 1 percent for Clinton and 1 percent unde- cided. For those Democrats and independents leaning Democratic who wish Sanders were the nominee, Clinton receives 72 percent of the vote, with 11 percent going to Trump and 9 per- cent lacking a preference. Among those who like to see Clinton as the nominee, she receives 94 percent, with Trump getting 2 percent and 3 percent lacking a pref- erence. Senate race widens In Wisconsin's U.S. Senate race, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson lost some ground to Democrat Russ Feingold. In a head-to-head matchup, 47 percent support Democrat Russ Feingold and 41 percent support Republican Ron Johnson, with 8 percent lacking a preference. Among all regis- tered voters, Feingold receives 46 percent, Johnson 40 percent and 11 percent lack a preference. In late August, Feingold had 48 percent and Johnson had 45 percent among likely voters. Among all regis- tered voters in that poll, Feingold had 46 percent sup- port and Johnson 42 per- cent. The full sample includes 802 registered voters inter- viewed by cellphone or landline, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points. Results for likely voters are based on 677 respondents, with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.8 percentage points. Among all registered vot- ers, 34 percent have a favor- able view of Johnson, 36 percent hold an unfavorable view and 30 percent say they haven't heard enough or don't know how they view him. Feingold is viewed favorably by 46 per- cent, unfavorably by 29 per- cent and 25 percent say they lack an opinion of him. Asked how effective Johnson, who was elected in 2010, is as a senator, 13 per- cent say very effective, 36 percent somewhat effective, 16 percent not very effective and 17 percent not at all effective. Sixteen percent say they don't know how effective he was. Twenty- two percent say Feingold, who was in the Senate from 1993 to 2011, was very effec- tive as a senator, 37 percent somewhat effective, 16 per- cent not very effective and 12 percent not at all effec- tive, with 13 percent lack- ing an opinion. Among all registered vot- ers, Johnson is supported by 80 percent of Republicans in a head-to- head matchup against Feingold, who receives 84 percent support from Democrats. Ten percent of Republicans cross over to vote for Feingold, while 6 percent of Democrats sup- port Johnson. Independents divide 43 percent for Feingold and 36 percent for Johnson.
