Marquette poll: Biden, Trump tied among registered Wisconsin voters
MILWAUKEE – President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are tied among registered Wisconsin voters in the latest Marquette University Law School Poll, released Wednesday.
The poll found registered voters at 50% in favor of each candidate in a head-to-head matchup. However, among likely voters, Biden led Trump 51% to 49% – a flip of April’s results, which had Trump at 51% and Biden at 49% among likely voters.
The candidates were also tied at 44% among registered voters when given an “undecided” option. However, when including specific third-party candidates, Trump came in first at 43%.
- Donald Trump, 43%
- Joe Biden, 40%
- Robert Kennedy, 8%
- Cornel West, 4%
- Chase Oliver, 2%
- Jill Stein, 2%
When it comes to Biden and Trump on the issues, the poll asked registered voters which candidate would do a better job as president on seven topics. The results were as follows:
- Immigration and border security: Trump 52%, Biden 28%
- Economy: Trump 52%, Biden 34%
- Israel-Hamas war: Trump 44%, Biden 30%
- Foreign relations: Trump 45%, Biden 39%
- Medicare and Social Security: Biden 43%, Trump 36%
- Health care: Biden 43%, Trump 34%
- Abortion policy: Biden 47%, Trump 33%

Registered voters’ top-rated issues among those seven were as follows:
- Economy, 31%
- Immigration and border security, 19%
- Abortion policy, 15%
- Medicare and Social Security, 12%
- Health care, 6%
- Foreign relations, 5%
- Israel-Hamas war, 4%
- Don’t know, 8%
Among registered voters who identified as Republicans, the top issue was the economy (48%), while Democrats ranked abortion policy as their top-rated issue (27%). Independent voters also considered the economy their top issue (36%).
In the Wisconsin Senate race, incumbent U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin (52%) leads Republican challenger Eric Hovde (47%). The results were the same among likely voters.
The poll also found 55% of respondents said Trump was guilty in his New York hush-money trial, as the jury found, while 36% said he was not guilty and the jury made the wrong ruling. Nine percent said they did not know.
Additionally, the poll found views of public schools are less positive now than they were last fall.
Complete results and methodology can be found on the Marquette Law School Poll website.

Badgers top transfer edge target is heading elsewhere
The Wisconsin Badgers transfer portal hopes suffered a blow late Monday night as Oklahoma State transfer Wendell Gregory committed to the Kansas State Wildcats.
Gregory, an All-Big 12 selection as a redshirt freshman in 2025, was one of the best edge rushers in the transfer portal and one of the best overall players available this offseason. He accumulated 32 pressures, four sacks, and 19 stops, while having a pass-rush win rate over 17 percent, a top mark in college football.
He had gotten significant interest in the transfer portal, including from Texas Tech, Texas, Missouri, Kansas State, and Wisconsin. The Badgers impressively got him on a visit to campus, but he ultimately visited Texas and Kansas State afterwards before committing to the Wildcats.
Gregory was the highest-rated edge transfer remaining in the portal, according to On3, and is heading to his third school in three years after transferring from South Carolina to Oklahoma State following his true freshman season.
With Gregory not heading to Madison, the Badgers are still in search of one more edge rusher that could help this team in 2026. Wisconsin did pick up a commitment from Arkansas edge Justus Boone, but he profiles more as a run-stopper on the inside at 6’5, 290 pounds, potentially filling the Darryl Peterson role.
They also got Tennessee freshman edge transfer Jayden Loftin, for whom the Badgers were a finalist in the Class of 2025, getting an official visit in his recruitment before he committed to the Volunteers. Loftin redshirted his freshman year, recovering from a torn ACL he sustained during his senior year of high school.
Those two additions join Sebastian Cheeks, Nicolas Clayton, Tyreese Fearbry, Micheal Garner, Jaylen Williams, Samuel Lateju, and Yahya Gaad as Wisconsin’s outside linebacker group in 2026 so far.

Here’s how you can buy one of the new Wisconsin license plates
Gov. Tony Evers speaks at unveiling of two new license plate designs
Gov. Tony Evers speaks at the unveiling of Wisconsin’s newest state license plates designs, a blackout design and a retro “butter yellow” design
If you want to get one of the two new Wisconsin license plates, you can order them now.
The new plates – the blackout design and the “butter” yellow design – are available on the Division of Motor Vehicles’ new online portal. They’re also stocked at most DMV regional offices and participating car dealerships.
You’ll pay a $15 fee up-front, plus $25 annually. Personalizing the characters is an extra $15 each year.
Along with the new plates, you can order any of the other 60 specialty designs through the portal.
Customers who apply online and don’t want a personalized message could get their new plates within a week.
If you want to personalize the plate, you can see a preview online and check if the message is already taken. DMV staff then review the personalization requests, and delivery can take several weeks.
You can also renew vehicle registration at the same time and pay online, rather than mailing in a check or money order.
The new plates were approved in the state budget this summer, kicking off several months of design work at the state Department of Transportation. State officials unveiled the designs in December.
State officials anticipate the plates will generate more than $25 million for road projects in the first three years.
The “blackout” plate is a simple black-and-white theme, similar to the popular Road America plate. Lawmakers have considered creating the plates in Wisconsin for nearly two years, citing success in other states.
The “butter” plate isn’t pale yellow or shaped like a stick of margarine, but rather a throwback to the standard plate design of the 1970s and ’80s. Unlike the blackout plate, it includes “America’s Dairyland” text on the bottom.
Non-personalized blackout plates will begin with the combination “ZAA-1001,” and yellow plates will start with “YAA-1001.” There are seven characters available for personalized combinations.
