Vulnerable Sen Tammy Baldwin loses ground to GOP candidate in Wisconsin, consecutive polls show

Several newly released polls have illustrated a tightening Senate race in Wisconsin, where Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., is fighting for her seat in a state that could very likely swing for former President Donald Trump in the presidential race. 

Likely voters in Wisconsin split 51% for Baldwin and 48% for Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde in a new Marist poll on Thursday. A new Quinnipiac poll similarly showed the Democrat leading Hovde by only a few points, 51% to 47%, and an AARP poll showed Baldwin at 50% and the Republican candidate at 47%, with 3% undecided.

In the AARP’s survey of voters over 50, Hovde managed to take the lead from Baldwin, beating her 50% to 49%.

The latest polls have subsequently demonstrated a close race for Baldwin’s Senate seat, despite her status as an incumbent.
