Wisconsin is both the dairy capital of the United States and a major center for beer brewing, however, apparently Wisconsinites like their cheese way better than their brewskies. That interesting nugget was buried in Public Policy Polling's latest survey of the Badger State, which found that 64 percent of Wisconsin residents prefer cheese to beer compared to just 18 percent of Wisconsinites who have a higher opinion of beer than of cheese.

The PPP poll also found that cheese has a better overall favorability breakdown than beer and that men in Wisconsin like beer much more than women do. While 75 percent of men surveyed like beer, just 57 percent of female respondents said they enjoyed brewskies. Men in Wisconsin still prefer cheese over beer, but it was a much closer call than it was among women with with 54 percent of men saying they preferred cheese compared to 75 percent of women.

Of course, PPP's Wisconsin poll also addressed political issues. PPP found that support for gay marriage in Wisconsin is growing since last year, as it has been around the country. Last August, just 39 percent of Wisconsinites polled by PPP said they wanted same-sex marriage legalized compared to 50 percent who wanted it to remain illegal. This year, 43 percent of Wisconsinites said they wanted to legalize gay marriage and 47 percent said they oppose it. The poll also showed support for civil unions for gay couples is up to 69 percent from 67 percent last year.

Today, the pollsters at Public Policy Polling took a look at how the presidential race is shaping up in Florida, one of the most crucial swing states. Though Florida Senator Marco Rubio is considered to be one of the leading contenders to run as Mitt Romney's vice president, PPP found Mr. Rubio actually hurts Mr. Romney in his home state.

Overall, President Barack Obama has a five point advantage over Mr. Romney in Florida with 50 percent of voters saying they'd support him compared to 45 percent for Mr. Romney. With Mr. Rubio on the ticket alongside Mr. Romney, Mr. Obama's numbers stay flat, but Mr. Romney's support drops to 43 percent.

Mr. Rubio is Cuban and his Latino ethnicity is a major reason many observers believe he could be an asset to Mr. Romney's candidacy, however PPP found Mr. Rubio does nothing to improve Mr. Romney's Hispanic support in Florida.

PPP Director Tom Jensen believes Mr. Rubio's low approval rating to explain his negative impact on Mr. Romney's poll numbers in the Sunshine state.

"Rubio is not an overwhelmingly popular figure in Florida with 43% of voters approving of him to 41% who disapprove," Mr. Jensen wrote.
