Elizabeth Warren beats Walker as well.
That surprised me, especially with her at 48%. Warren hardly ever polls over 45% anywhere due to lack of name recognition. Is the WI Dem floor just that high?
Several reasons:
- Yes, the WI Dem floor is that high. It is a Democratic state and NOT a swing state.
- PPP is a Dem-leaning polling firm, after all.
- Warren IS an impressive candidate. I told you all that she would have a great shot at winning the General election. She is a progressive liberal, thus a great fit for WI. However, she would be a VERY poor fit for the South (I can't see her winning Florida against Walker or Bush).
- Walker is quite unpopular.
- WI Dems are very inelastic, to quote Wulfric: They would vote for a deadly virus with a D next to its name over Walker any time.
It is kind of a swing state. Bush should have won Wisconsin in 2004. It would have given him 296 EV.
