What do the latest Trump-Harris polls show in Wisconsin?

This is something we'll get a better idea of Wednesday. Around 12:15 p.m., the Marquette University Law School will release the results of their newest poll of Wisconsin voters, which asks for the first time about the matchup between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

The poll also asked what voters think about Harris and Trump's handling of issues and personal characteristics, how they feel about President Joe Biden exiting the race, how much attention they paid to the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and their perceptions of the candidates, including Vance.
