3. It is competitive, Walker go beat. Too bad none of the candidates come to WI.

It would help. They wasted so much time in Iowa courting people who routinely vote red. Trump routinely comes to rural WI blowing off his big mouth. If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

54. True. I was looking at 2016, their Governor, and Senators. All republican in Iowa.

WI has replaced their Governor, SOS, Treasurer, and AG with Democrats in 2018. WI also has both a republican and democratic Senator. The most recent senate race was in 2018 and went for Baldwin by the 6% points even after multiple attacks by republicans. Writing them off is foolish. I believe this shows a pattern of trending back to blue. We would be foolish to listen to a poll. There has been too much manipulation of data and results for me to trust any poll. I think too much effort is put into Iowa. Just not enough bang for the buck at the cost of other places we could for us on including:WI, VA, NC, GA, AZ and MI. IMO.

In the case of a tie, the election goes to the House. However, it’s one vote per state not per Congressperson. Republicans control more states than Democrats despite being in the minority. As currently stands with polls, we actually need to pick up the Omaha delegate just to tie last I checked. ME-2 is out of reach.

It feels far more conservative than it used to. I hope I'm wrong. If it comes down to it, I think the North Carolina money should be spent in Arizona. This Wisconsin poll is an outlier, too. So spending it in Wisconsin might be wise. Especially if regionally relevant Klobuchar or Buttigieg are the nominees. If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

to win that state in 2016. We had a huge ground operation there. And we spent enormous amounts of money there in advertising. It is true that we didn't hold rallies in a state where polls showed us up by double digits. But that is not uncommon. And it is ridiculous how the media acts like we did nothing there at all. Then again, it is ridiculous that they sometimes tack on Michigan, a state where we did hold rallies, for good measure. And sometimes people tack on the whole Midwest....or all the battleground states. Facts no longer matter, just finding a way to believe something that allows you to justify your rage and contempt.

about how AA's in Milwaukee didn't vote. About 2% (from memory, may be different number but it was really low) were stripped of their voting rights. The vast majority who stayed home was apathy and hopelessness - they felt their lot hasn't changed one lick so why bother.

There's greater disenfranchisement among Milwaukee's black community than in many other places. Deindustrialization and disinvestment hit the city hard, and with a Republican majority in the legislature, it's hard to make the kind of substantive investments needed to move towards a better economic and social climate.

Again this is from memory so some details may be off. Black unemployment in Milwaukee is still massive. They came out in record numbers in 2008. By 2012 the needle barely moved for black unemployment compared to white unemployment. By 2016 they gave up. Interviews with black residents who didn’t vote in 2016 said it doesn’t matter who is in office; they’re still going to be poor and forgotten about. Our nominee needs to address their despair and grievances. They (and everyone really) want someone to vote for not someone to vote against.

The Flint water crisis and Detroit's bankruptcy were both cases where a harder push and stronger presence would have made a difference on election day. IMO, the Obama team completely screwed the pooch when Detroit faced bankruptcy - they barely put out a press release, and this is a city that is often considered one of the capitals of Black America. Someone on his team should have insisted that the administration stand up more firmly for Detroit, with at least some commission meetings and some signaling of determined support. The actual response was so muted that it barely counts as a response. We paid for this mistake in 2016, and we should take a lesson from what happened before we pay for it again in 2020.

Is Wisconsin a lock for us? Hell no. Are we in danger of losing there again? Hell yes. But there's no way he is up by at least 7 points against every Democratic challenger. He only won the state by less than a percentage point in 2016. Wisconsin just elected a Democratic governor in 2018. He is underwater in the state by every poll taken: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/approval_rating/president/wi/president_trump_job_approval_in_wisconsin-6233.html With all this I'm expected to believe that Wisconsin has suddenly swung THAT much in favor of him so recently?

I would estimate Trump leads by 3-4 points in that state 2020 is not 2018. The out party always somehow always believes that the presidential race will be a rerun of the midterm. Benefit of a doubt returns to the incumbent. None of this should be surprising. I realize I'm not popular here for pointing out the monumental task of ousting an incumbent whose party has been in power only one term. Big deal.

41. Primary polls don't always correlate with GE polls. It's still too far out. imo

49. But the GE's not here yet. Anyone can say anything in the heat of primary season.

Representative samples, margins of error are ignored in service of PR media effects and voter audience conditioning. If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

60. True, but...

it's not wise to ignore warning signs. This is a legitimate polling organization that has reminded us of how critical the Wisconsin vote is, and without an energetic campaign in the state, it may stay in the red column. I'm cautiously optimistic, but there is a lot of work to do and it would be a mistake to dismiss the poll results. If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

58. I do not see what you are claiming at your link at all

You are comparing two separate pollsters and the other one was taken on January 14th to the 16th,, around 5 weeks ago, not 5 days ago. Look at the dates of the actual polling, NOT when the poll was listed on 538. https://www.wmc.org/wp-content/uploads/WMC-Polling-analysis-memo-Jan-2020.pdf If I were to vote in a presidential primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

69. Do you have an actual issue with Quinnipiac? Or do you just not like the results?
