Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are headed to a photo finish in Wisconsin next Tuesday according to the latest poll numbers, which show the Texas senator ahead of the New York billionaire by just a single percentage point.
Public Policy Polling, a left-leaning firm, surveyed likely voters in the Badger State and found Cruz leading the Republican primary contest with 38 per cent, compared with Trump's 37.
The dramatically different results could be explained by sample sizes: Marquette's pollsters interviewed 471 likely Republican primary voters, while Public Policy Polling surveyed 768.
They could also reflect quickly shifting political winds in Wisconsin, seasoned with a series of Trump rallies that tend to create unpredictable news cycles.

Riiiiiight. That is why trump left the state and has no plans until Saturday there.
He’s using the Ben Carson playbook for winning Primaries!
#6 That would be trump Operation but the trumpkins claim there is no such thing so this thread actually doesn’t exist
Do not worry, I do not.
Would love to see Megyn’s face if Trump pulls out a win on Tuesday!!
Let's pull this one through for Trump!
Read history! Republican Convention 1860.
It’s not theft. It’s the Rules.
But as we see with trump threatening lawsuit in Louisiana, rules aren’t Important to Donnie.
Like Contracts, business deals, immigration laws, emoliyments laws....etc.
#28 ROTFLMAO
Hadn’t seen that one before
I will be glad to donate to anyone who works against Walker. It’s all these bought and traded putz pols understand.
I've been warning up to Bruce Willis in recent years. Now, I might intentionally watch one of his movies.

Polls of likely voters, as this one is, are generally the most accurate.
I expect Trump to win WI.
Trump has had a horrible week and to climb back to a photo finish is amazing.
If Cruz pulls it off after his infidelity problems, congrats.
Its still won’t change the state of the race, when all is said and done.
I see all of these polls as a form of propaganda and wouldn’t bet my life on them. But depending on how you define “within five points”, I think at least one of them is bound to hit that range. So, if Cruz finishes between 22 and 47%, I would be covered?
I hope Trump works WI as if he’s 10 points behind, and I hope Ted works WI as if he’s 10 points ahead.
I was glad to see the Marquette poll showing Trump down. I don’t want him to take this state for granted. It’s a tough state for Republicans. He needs to work it like a punching bag.
On a side note, came up north today (Vilas County) to get our cabin ready for the summer, and I have yet to see a Trump or a Cruz sign on anyone’s lawn (but I will go out on the water this weekend, and we’ll see if I see any then). I haven’t seen any Clinton ones either, but I’ve seen about 50 Bernie signs on the way up. Mind you, I haven’t been really in through the town, just hwy 51 through hwy M.
Shows you how much this area up here has changed in the last 30 years. Now it’s all retired government employees that surround me (a lot of teachers). Used to be blue collar folks who had cabins up here for fishing.
Cruz hasn’t won a northern state primary - caucuses don’t count.
WI would be his first. But the northeast next month is Trump turf.
Sure thing.
...like I said, I’m making a WAG out of sheer boredom.
No Republican will win Vilas County.
Government workers are overwhelmingly Democrats.
Signs on lawn seem to tell the tale.
Yes, and not only that, but Donald Trump is leading outside the margin of error in that poll, 29% to 25% over Cruz, with a tiny MOE of 1.14%
The poll that really matters in Wisconsin will be conducted on Tuesday, but if someone is going to put credence in a "public opinion poll" at all, it should be in cases where there is a large enough sample size, and the person leading is doing so outside the margin of error.
All else is abject spin...
“Bruce Willis just endorsed Trump.”
Kewl. Welcome to the party, pal!
