Joe Biden has widened his lead over Donald Trump in Wisconsin and narrowly leads the president in Ohio, according to a pair of polls from two key swing states in the Midwest
Both Wisconsin and Ohio were won by former President Barack Obama in 2012 before flipping to Trump in 2016.
The latest numbers come as both men begin to ease back onto the physical campaign trail after a monthslong hiatus amid the pandemic. Last weekend Trump held his first rally since March and began limited travel again in May. Biden has also begun to venture out of his Delaware home for small in-person gatherings.
The Marquette survey found that Trump’s support among Republicans has decreased 10 points since May, from 93 percent to 83 percent, and that independents flipped to prefer Biden over Trump 38-30.
