SurveyUSA polled Friday through Sunday in Wisconsin, where 40 GOP and 74 Democratic delegates are at stake in tomorrow’s primaries, asking registered voters how they would vote in hypothetical general-election matchups between Republican frontrunner John McCain and each of the two Democratic candidates vying for their party’s nomination:

In head-to-head matchups today, McCain defeats Hillary Clinton by 7 points, turning Wisconsin red for the first time since 1984, when Ronald Reagan beat Walter Mondale by 9 points in Wisconsin.

Barack Obama defeats McCain today by 10 points, keeping Wisconsin blue.
