Wisconsin Republican Poll GOP March 28 2016

Two new polls appear to show that Ted Cruz has gained an advantage on Donald Trump in the state of Wisconsin. The northern state goes to the polls on April 5 with a total of 42 delegates on offer.

An Emerson poll conducted between march 20-22 had Ted Cruz on 36%, leading Trump on 35% and Kasich in third with 19%. In addition to this a Free Beacon poll has Cruz with an even greater lead, Cruz polled 36% with Trump on 31% and Kasich on 21%.

Compare this with a poll from Marquette in February which showed Trump leading Cruz by 30-19 although this was at a time that Rubio was still in the race.

It will be interesting to see who wins in this state, just a few weeks before New York goes to the polls.

Wisconsin Democratic Primary 2016 Date

The Wisconsin Democratic Primary will take place on April 5 and 86 delegates are available. It is the only state that goes to the polls on this day and therefore will likely garner a great amount of attention.

The race for the nomination in the democratic party has been very intense, with Clinton facing off against Bernie Sanders, who is presenting a type of politics not seen in the United States.

A self confessed Democratic Socialist, Sanders argues that the top 1% has obtained all the wealth and argues for a tax on Wallstreet speculation. He has built his campaign on bringing greater socialism to the USA, such as free college and universal healthcare.

Wisconsin Republican Primary 2016 Date

The Wisconsin Republican Primary is scheduled to take place on April 5, it will no doubt garner much attention due to the fact that it is the only state to go to the polls on that day and comes two weeks before the key state of New York.

Whoever emerges with the most votes will take all of the 42 delegates that are on offer in the state, due to the fact that it incorporates a winner-take-all format.

The candidate that ends up winning will no doubt receive an important boost to his campaign as we enter the final few months of voting.

Currently Donald Trump is winning, however there is some doubt as to whether he can obtain the 1,237 delegates he requires in order to make sure of the nomination.
