-The race between President Barack Obama and likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney is in a dead heat in Wisconsin, a poll released Wednesday indicated.
According to CNN, the survey from Marquette Law School showed both Obama and Romney garnering support from 46% of likely voters in Wisconsin. The numbers reflect a boost for Romney, who faced a four point deficit in the state the last time Marquette polled likely voters in April.
Obama's job approval rating stood at 46%, according to the poll, with 49% of likely voters disapproving of the job he's doing as president. That's a drop for the incumbent Democrat, who enjoyed a 50% approval rating in Wisconsin last month.
In terms of favorability, Obama is still ahead of his GOP rival, though his numbers are dropping. Forty-nine percent of likely Wisconsin voters view the president favorably, compared to 47% who say their feelings are unfavorable. Again, Obama's numbers have dropped since April, when his favorability in Wisconsin stood at 55%.
