Trump outpaces Harris by 1 point in Wisconsin: Survey

Former President Trump has a 1-point edge over Vice President Harris by 1 percentage point the critical swing state of Wisconsin, new polling shows.

The survey, released Thursday from Emerson College/RealClearWorld, shows Trump narrowly outpacing Harris 49.4 percent to 48.4 percent in the key battleground.

The Badger State is just one "blue wall" state — or those that chose the former president in 2016 but flipped to President Biden in 2020 — that the candidates are vying for ahead of November.

Favorability ratings in the latest poll were similar, with 35.8 percent of respondents having a very favorable view of Harris, compared to the 36.6 percent who said the same of Trump. Almost 46 percent had a very unfavorable view of the vice president while slightly more than 46 percent said the same of the former president.

The top issues for voters in Wisconsin were the economy at 41.5 percent, threats to democracy at 16.8 percent and abortion access at 9.7 percent. Immigration and housing affordability trailed closely behind abortion access at 8 to 9 percent, the poll revealed.

A large majority, 89.7 percent, of respondents also said they were very likely to vote in the election, the survey showed. Slightly more than 10 percent said they already cast their ballot after early voting opened in the state last week.

With just over a week left until Election Day, The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's polling index shows Trump leading Harris in the state by less than half a point — 48.5 to 48.1 percent.

The Emerson/RealClearWorld poll surveyed 800 likely Wisconsin voters from Oct. 21-22. The margin of error was 3.4 percentage points.
