A recent Marquette Law School poll conducted in Wisconsin revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris has gained a 4-point lead over former President Donald Trump among likely voters. The poll, which surveyed 738 individuals from August 28 to September 5, indicates a significant divide in support based on religious affiliation. A striking 82% of voters identifying as having 'no religion' favor Harris, while 75% of born-again Christians support Trump. This trend highlights the growing influence of non-religious voters in the battleground state. The poll also shows that among those who identify as non-Protestant or non-Catholic, 55% back Harris compared to 30% for Trump. Conversely, among Catholics, 54% support Trump, while mainline Protestants are evenly split at 46% for both candidates. Church attendance appears to correlate strongly with support for Trump, as 63% of frequent attendees back him, while 72% of those who never attend church support Harris. Despite the close race, Harris's support has increased since July, when the candidates were nearly tied. Currently, she leads with 52% of likely voters, while Trump has 48%. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also garners 6% of the vote, impacting the overall dynamics of the race. The poll underscores the importance of religious demographics in shaping voter preferences, suggesting that economic messaging may be crucial for Trump to regain ground in Wisconsin. As the election approaches, both candidates face challenges in improving their favorability ratings among voters.
