Subscribe to RSSTwo polls out Wednesday show President Barack Obama on top of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney in the swing state of Wisconsin.
Obama leads, 54 percent to 40 percent, in a Marquette University Law poll released Wednesday afternoon. The same poll found Obama with a narrower, 49 to 46 percent, lead over Romney before both party conventions, and shortly after the Republican candidate named Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.

A separate poll of Wisconsin voters conducted by Quinnipiac University, the New York Times and CBS News also found Obama with an advantage in the Badger State. Obama led by six points, 51 to 45 percent, in that poll released this morning.
NBC News considers Wisconsin a "toss-up" state for purposes of its battleground map. NBC News will have the results of a third poll of Wisconsin, conducted in partnership with Marist College and the Wall Street Journal, on Thursday.
The Marquette poll was conducted Sept. 13-16 and has a 4.1 percent margin of error for its sample of likely voters. The Quinnipiac/NYT/CBS poll was conducted Sept. 11-17 and has a 2.5 percent margin of error.

Romney is soooooo TOAST, stick a fork in him he's DONE!
When the polls were trending toward Romney you all claimed they didn't mean anything. Why did they suddenly become so important?
They are trending to Romney, check Rasmussen!
When have the polls ever trended toward Romney? And Rasmussen's latest poll shows Obama +2. You guys really need to step outside your fantasy worlds because it must be starting to smell pretty ripe in there by now. Damn.
ATF Deirector Kenneth Melson and Jason
Weinstein, the Assistant U.S. DA who
began and covered up the sale of U.S.
owned and manufactured assault weapons
to Mexican drug cartels which culminated
in the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent
Brian Terry, have resigned.
If John Private Citizen had sold weapons
to International Terrorists, that were
then used to Murder a U.S. Border Patrol
Agent, would they let you or me simply
resign, and walk away? We would be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law; facing
innumerable charges up to and including
The MURDER of a FEDERAL AGENT. Ask Mrs.
Josephine Terry if the loss of their jobs is
punishment enough for complicity in the murder
of her son?
The man most directly involved in the coverup
of Fast and Furious, U.S. AG Eric Holder, is
the only one who can bring criminal charges
against them. No other remedy can compel them
to give up the true depth and nature of
Fast and Furious. If the president's men were
involved, when the president's men were involved,
or if the president, himself, was informed and
complicit in Fast and Furious.
Obama ain't going to levy criminal
charges that could lead to his own indictment,
Holder ain't going to levy criminal charges that
could lead to his own indictment. We, the voters
are the only ones who can bring Holder and Obama
to justice.
picked every election from regan to date. based on the state that this countryis in.even picked our current leader even thought i did not like him.i see it i call it. we are in bad times.so hear is my pick.out with the old in with new.i see it i call it .
Read a real poll. Rasmussen shows Romney daily approval over Obama, and he is way ahead in NH, CO, NC. Never has a seated President been anywhere near his rival. They have all been 11 to 22 pts ahead, not Obama. Romney is also way ahead with Independents at 11%.
If you want to keep beleiving the liberal pollsters and Gallup (who by the way the justice dept is suing because they think Obama is getting shortchanged) Then you will wake up the day after the election just like last time and see that the democrats got stomped.
Obama will not win, he has proven the only thing he is good at is handing out "other peoples money".
And now the one thing he claims he knew more about than Romney, he has failed at, Foreign Policy! Remember Jimmy Carter, so long Obama!
