President Barack Obama holds a solid lead over Mitt Romney in Wisconsin, according to a new poll from Marquette University Law School released Wednesday.  

Obama earns the support of 51 percent of likely Badger State voters, while Romney trails with 43 percent.  The results of the Marquette poll dovetail with those from a different survey released Wednesday by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP), which showed the president with a 6-point lead over the presumptive Republican nominee in Wisconsin.  Obama led Romney, 49-43 percent, in Marquette’s survey from early June.

Democrats have carried Wisconsin in the last six presidential elections, but Republicans were emboldened after Gov. Scott Walker’s decisive victory in last month’s recall election.  The PollTracker Average shows Obama on solid footing there, currently holding a 7-point lead over Romney.
