Although Hillary Clinton continues to maintain a strong lead in the Democratic presidential primary, a new poll suggests that underdog Bernie Sanders would beat all Republican contenders in hypothetical head-to-head matchups in Wisconsin.

Polling data taken in The Badger State and analyzed by Marquette University Law School show that the former secretary of state would lose by a percentage point in a match off with GOP candidate Marco Rubio and Ben Carson. On the other hand, the data suggests that Sanders would beat Rubio by 4 percentage points and Carson by 6 points.

According to Marquette Law School pollster Charles Franklin, Sanders' popularity among Independent voters and even a small amount of Republicans has given him a slight edge over Clinton in Wisconsin.

"Now, whether that would continue as voters become more aware of both the Republican and Democratic candidates, that's too early to say," Franklin said, according to Wisconsin Public Radio. "But at least right now, the Sanders' advantage that we're seeing in the data has less to do with the way Democrats are voting and more to do with the way independents and a handful of Republicans are voting."

The poll, which was conducted from Nov. 12 to 15, also shows that Wisconsin voters think it is more important for a 2016 candidate to be willing to compromise rather than hold firm to their own party principles.

Earlier this week, an ABC News/Washington Post poll revealed that more Americans trust Clinton to handle the threat of terrorism than any of the Republican candidates running in the 2016 race. The polling data also found that voters prefer the former first lady over the Vermont senator 3-to-1 when it comes to key presidential characteristics, including the ability to combat terrorism and climate change and having the competence to get things done.

However, more voters favored the self-proclaimed "Democratic Socialist" when it comes to cracking down on Wall Street and being honest and trustworthy.
