Marquette poll: Hillary Clinton opens 15-point post-convention lead in Wisconsin

A new Marquette Law School Poll out Wednesday offers a glimpse of where the Wisconsin electorate stands after the Republican and Democratic national conventions.

Hillary Clinton has opened a 15-point lead over Donald Trump in Wisconsin among likely voters in the latest Marquette Law School Poll.

The poll is the first in Wisconsin since Trump and Clinton accepted their respective party's nomination at the Republican and Democratic national conventions last month.

Before the conventions, Clinton led Trump among likely voters by only four points, 45-41, but in the latest poll leads 52-37. Among registered voters she led by six points, 43-37, before the convention and now leads 46-36.

Poll director Charles Franklin said the race is currently looking more like the 2008 election, in which Barack Obama won Wisconsin by 14 points, than the 2004, when John Kerry won Wisconsin by a very narrow margin.

"When we’re thinking about what kind of election is this shaping up to be right now in the nation as well as Wisconsin, it’s looking more like 2008 right now," Franklin said.

In the closely watched U.S. Senate race, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson trailed former Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold by 11 points among likely voters, 53-42. Among registered voters, Feingold leads 49-43.
