Former President Donald Trump appears to have surged ahead of President Joe Biden with a critical constituency in battleground Wisconsin, according to a recent poll.<\/p>\n

In an AARP survey<\/a> of Wisconsin voters aged 50 or older, Trump earned the support of 52% of respondents, compared to 43% who expressed support for Biden. Among all age groups, Trump led by 5%.<\/p>\n

When independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. entered the mix, however, he grabbed 7% of voters aged 50 or older, reducing Trump\u2019s support to 48% and Biden\u2019s to 41%.<\/p>\n

Conducted June 28-July 2, the survey questioned 1,052 likely Wisconsin voters. The bipartisan\u00a0Fabrizio Ward and Impact Research team conducted the poll.<\/p>\n

In a five-way race between Trump, Biden, Kennedy, independent candidate Cornel West, and the Green Party\u2019s Jill Stein, Trump currently leads by 2.2% in the RealClearPolitics polling average<\/a> for Wisconsin, which includes the AARP survey.<\/p>\n

Wisconsin is a critical state in the electoral college and boasts 10 electoral votes, which could prove decisive in the event of a close race. Trump won Wisconsin in 2016 against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but lost it to Biden in 2020.<\/p>\n
