Marquette Law School Poll: September 30 - October 4, 2020

Likely voters

(Percentages are rounded to whole numbers for reporting of results. Frequencies have been rounded to whole numbers but percentages are calculated based on non-integer weighted sample sizes.)

Results for survey items among all likely voters are presented here. Please note that some questions are only asked of particular groups of respondents. In these instances, the row “NA’s” includes the number and percent of total respondents omitted from the question. These omitted cases are ignored when calculating the “Valid” and “Cumulative” percent columns.

Note: questions Q32 - Q37 were added to the survey for October 2-4, after news emerged of President Trump’s positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
