Bush takes 12-point lead in Wisconsin (Bush 50, Kerry 38) [View All]

[TheStateChief]

In the Badger Poll, taken April 20-28 by the University of Wisconsin Survey Center, Bush leads Kerry 50% to 38%, with independent Ralph Nader drawing 6%.

That's a bigger advantage than Bush enjoyed in the same poll a month ago, when he led Kerry 47% to 41%, with Nader at 5%.

It's also a much larger margin than Bush has had in any national polls. Those polls have fluctuated in recent weeks but by relatively small amounts, with all the numbers pointing to a very tight contest.

Wisconsin has tracked the national results remarkably closely in the past three presidential races, and the state was decided by just two-tenths of a percentage point in 2000.
