Hillary Clinton holds small leads over Donald Trump in two Wisconsin polls released Wednesday, showing a drop in her lead in the Badger state since early August.
A Marquette Law School poll of likely Wisconsin voters showed Clinton with a three-point lead over Trump, 41-38, with Libertarian Gary Johnson following at 10 percent and Green Party candidate Jill Stein at 4 percent. Earlier in August, the same pollser showed Clinton 13 points ahead in Wisconsin among likely voters.
In Marquette’s newest survey Clinton led in the head-to-head matchup by three points, 45-42.
In a separate Monmouth University poll also released Wednesday, Clinton is ahead by five points, 43-38, with Johnson polling at 7 percent and Stein at 3 percent among likely voters. (Monmouth hasn’t polled Wisconsin on the 2016 presidential preference previously.)
The Marquette poll was conducted Aug. 25-28, surveying 650 likely Wisconsin voters over the phone with a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percent.
The Monmouth poll, conducted Aug. 27-30, surveyed 404 likely Wisconsin general election voters via telephone, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percent.
TPM’s PollTracker Average for the Wisconsin election shows Clinton leading Trump, 42.7 to 39.1.
