Valwinz this may come as a shock to you

Biden is not running for president

I will leave you time to mourn
Honestly, I am not shocked that Trump supporters are as detached from the current year as Trump is. Trump has literally confused Biden for Obama.

Seriously, it's disturbing that just how much Trump's grip on reality is slipping. Like, Biden was made to step out of the race due to his failing grasp on reality, yet Republicans are going full speed with a dude who goes on dementia rants.

As a 6’2 individual. I’m tired of people mocking shit out of the “short” people. We were once little before, life treats ALL of us like shit, big, small, fat, skinny, black, white, so just shut up and treat the “little” guy some actual RESPECT
I am 5'4, I think it's ok to disrespect small people, I do it all the time

What special election?

A lot can change in a few months, Kamala was on top for a while in all the polls - and now all vanished

This also had a record turnout given the kind of ballot this was.

Honestly IMO a lot of these polls continue to ignore the impact Roe vs Wade being overturned is having on results, and they're ignoring Gen Z who are also breaking turnout records for their age demographic compared to previous generation.

The state amendment being rejected, although pushed by Republicans, is hardly good data to support voters don't want Republicans in office

The polls are agnostic to those factors, they simply ask likely voters who they will support - if young people aren't identifying themselves as likely voters that's probably why they are being ignored (and perhaps rightfully so if they don't actually intend to vote)
 
Our legislature also changed after Roe vs Wade was overturned, and we've had a Democrat governor since 2019. Wisconsin was pretty red for about a decade prior, until after Trump won and the events that followed with his presidency.

I've also only recently been getting a lot of cold calls from unknown numbers and the transcribing reveals they're pollers looking for info on who I'm voting for.

I don't answer unknown numbers unless I'm expecting a call, and cold calling landlines and cellphones are still the primary method of gathering this data.

The method is flawed.

You guys also re-elected a Republican senator 2 years ago...

Seems like Wisconsin hasn't changed as much as we think
 
Ron Johnson is a bit of an anomaly, and we're still a swing state. His opponent also ran a terrible campaign.

That said the court makeup changed in 2023 directly as a result of Roe vs Wade being overturned. The only law we had for abortion once that happened was one from the mid 1800s and it was incredibly restrictive.

The law has since changed due to 2023 elections changing the court makeup.

I'm just observing and sharing the trends I'm seeing in my own state. I'm not willing to speaking about others in this amount of detail. I would be very surprised if WI goes for Trump this year.

On a more anecdotal note, there's definitely less Trump signs I'm seeing in my city, surrounding cities and rural areas compared to 2020 and 2016. Even more to note, I'm seeing Harris signs in rural areas and farmland which is unusual, and I'm seeing Republicans for Harris signs up as well.

The 2022 house election in Wisconsin saw Republicans gain a house seat - and Democrats only got about 40% of the vote

Wisconsin is a swing state probably mostly so because Trump is such a garbage Republican candidate

I would not be surprised to see Trump win Wisconsin - Republicans nearly swept the last federal election there - AND this was 5 months AFTER Roe was overturned

At that time WI was one of the most gerrymandered states in the country if not the worst one. A 6:2 split given the actual voter count is incredibly disproportionate.

This has since changed

Wisconsin is actually becoming redder, it only voted Republican three times since 1976

The trend from the 2022 election is pretty worrying and perhaps a sign of things to come from a now Republican leaning state
