(CNN)Poll of the week: A new Marquette Law School poll finds former Vice President Joe Biden with a 46% to 43% lead over President Donald Trump in Wisconsin.
The poll matches the last poll from Marquette, which also had Biden up by 3 points in Wisconsin.
What's the point: One of the big questions when we look at national polls is whether or not they're an accurate representation of what is going on at the state level. One of the easiest ways to check is to compare state poll results to the past presidential vote in a given state. I did so for all telephone polls that called cell phones since the beginning of April.
When we average out these state polls, they suggest that Biden's running about 6 points ahead of Hillary Clinton's final margin.
In other words, the state level polls suggest that Biden has a national lead of around 8 points. .....

(70 posts)ideally, if Dump keeps self-sabotaging, that will improve, but we certainly can't count our chickens yet by any means, remember who has all the Dark Money (Moscow Mitch) and who Putin favors....
I still completely believe that the Howard Dean '50 state strategy' is just as relevant now as it was back then....it helped Obama, it is important...!
