A day after a poll showed former President Donald Trump taking back Michigan from President Joe Biden, a new survey just out has him beating the president in Wisconsin, giving him control of all seven key swing states.
In Wisconsin, which Biden won by 1 percentage point in 2020 after Trump took it in 2016 to seal his surprise victory over Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Republican is leading the Democrat by 3 points, 45%-42%, according to Emerson College Polling/The Hill.
And when third-party candidates such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are added to the lineup, Trump’s lead grows by a point in Wisconsin, 41%-37%, with Kennedy taking 7%.
“Since January, Biden’s support has decreased by three percentage points, while Trump’s support increased by one,” the survey analysis read.
According to the X site InteractivePolls, “Trump now leads Biden across all seven swing states.” They are Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania.
In Wisconsin, the top issue is the economy, and on that, Trump is the pick. “Voters who find the economy to be the top issue break for Trump over Biden, 57% to 24%,” Emerson Executive Director Spencer Kimball said.

He also said that Biden’s age and Trump’s legal problems are factors.
“President Biden’s age raises serious doubts in the minds of 62% of voters in supporting Biden in 2024, while 39% say Biden’s age is not a serious consideration for them. Trump’s criminal indictments raise doubts for 56% of voters, while 44% do not consider his indictments to be a serious consideration in their vote,” Kimball’s analysis read.
