A new poll from Quinnipiac University finds Joe Biden leading Donald Trump in a head-to-head matchup in Wisconsin, but the two are about even with an expanded field.

The poll found 50% of registered voters backed Biden, compared to 44% who supported Trump.

In a five-person race, Biden was at 40%, Trump 39%, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. 12%, Jill Stein 4% and Cornel West 1%.

Eleven percent of those who supported Biden in a head-to-head race backed Kennedy in the expanded field, while 7% went to Stein and 2% to West. The president retained 80% of those who backed him head-to-head with Trump.

The former president, meanwhile, retained 87% of his supporters. Of the rest, 10% went to Kennedy, 1% to West and 1% to Stein.

In the Senate race, the poll found incumbent Dem Tammy Baldwin led GOP challenger Eric Hovde 54-42.

Forty-nine percent said they have a favorable opinion of Baldwin, while 35% had an unfavorable one. Twenty-three percent had a favorable opinion of Hovde, while 25% had a negative one and half said they hadn’t heard enough about him to have an opinion.

The poll of 1,457 registered voters was conducted May 2-6 using random digit dialing with live interviewers calling landlines and cell phones. The margin of error was plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

FiveThirtyEight rates Quinnipiac the country’s 19th best pollster with 2.8 stars out of three.
