MILWAUKEE — The latest Marquette Poll, which looks at how voters in Wisconsin feel about candidates and issues through the year, shows Vice President Kamala Harris has more support than former President Donald Trump. 

The latest poll published Wednesday was done by interviewing 822 Wisconsin registered voters (738 of which said they are likely going to vote) between Aug. 28 and Sept. 5. 

The poll shows 52% of people interviewed said they were supporting Harris, while 48% said Trump. That is when asked to choose between the two. When people were asked about multiple candidates, Harris had support of 47% of voters interviewed, with Trump at 43% and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 6%. The press release stated that some voters interviewed didn't know Kennedy dropped out on Aug. 23, and endorsed the former president. 

"While the race for president remains very close in Wisconsin, when asked who they think is likely to win in November, 48% say Harris will definitely or probably win, while 41% say Trump will definitely or probably win and 11% say they don’t know," said a press release from the Marquette Poll. "In July, by contrast, 39% said Harris would win, 51% said Trump would win, and 11% didn’t know."

The Marquette Poll also asked about opinions toward the vice presidential candidates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance. Gov. Walz was viewed favorably by 43% of those interviewed, compared to 37% seeing him as unfavorable and 19% of people saying they did not know him or did not know enough. Sen. Vance was seen favorably among 37% of voters interviewed, and 47% unfavorably. Sixteen percent said they did not know enough about Vance. 

The Marquette Poll said in a press release it has a margin of error of +/-4.7 percentage points. You can view the full poll results by clicking here.
