**Madison, WI** – A new poll conducted by American Thinker/Rasmussen Reports suggests that the race for Wisconsin’s electoral votes remains incredibly close. The poll, surveying 1,071 likely voters, shows a virtual tie between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, with both candidates receiving 49% support.
While the poll reflects a dead heat in voter preference, the data reveals deeper insights into the key issues driving the electorate. Wisconsin voters, according to the poll, are most concerned about the economy and immigration. They are more likely to trust Trump on these issues, while favoring Harris on energy policies.
The poll highlights the economic anxiety prevalent among Wisconsin voters. A majority (52%) feel worse off economically than four years ago, and they are pessimistic about their children’s future economic prospects. This sentiment is further reflected in the fact that 48% believe Trump is better equipped to improve the economy compared to 45% who believe the same of Harris.
Immigration remains another major concern for Wisconsin voters. While they favor deportation over amnesty policies, most believe the current administration is doing too little to address illegal immigration. Trump enjoys a significant lead over Harris in terms of voters’ trust to secure the border.
Despite these concerns, the poll indicates a clear preference for Harris on energy policies. Wisconsin voters are more worried about energy prices than carbon emissions, and they trust Harris more than Trump to handle the nation’s energy strategy.
While the poll underscores the importance of economic and immigration issues in Wisconsin, it also points to a complex picture. Despite their concern over the economy, voters appear to be somewhat conflicted about the past four years, with 43% expressing less likelihood to vote for Harris due to Biden’s economic policies. Furthermore, while they appear to have a more favorable view of Harris’ character, the tie in overall voting preference suggests a lack of confidence in her overall leadership.
This tight race underscores the importance of the upcoming election in Wisconsin. The poll’s findings offer valuable insight into the anxieties and priorities of Wisconsin voters, suggesting that the candidates will need to address these issues effectively to secure victory.
