Just got back from a family vacation in Door County, and I thought I would share my anecdotal recon, lol. First of all, I could not believe how many yard signs there were ... I didn't really know people did that anywhere anymore. For those who don't know, Door County is a peninsula in NE Wisconsin that is a very popular tourist destination, especially for people from Illinois (FIB for life!). Surprisingly, it has voted for the winning candidate in every election since 1996. Here is how it has voted since 2000:
2016: 48.8% Trump, 45.6% Clinton
2012: 53.0% Obama, 46.0% Romney
2008: 58.0% Obama, 40.7% Romney
2004: 50.9% Bush, 47.8% Kerry
2000: 51.3% Bush, 43.1% Gore
Looking at a precinct map for 2016, it looks like the county's biggest city (Sturgeon Bay) went for Clinton by single digits, the rural areas were for Trump by about 7-8% and the tourist towns up north went for Clinton by about 10% on average ... not sure how the math worked out for Trump to win, but oh well.
Anyway, I saw about 70-30% Trump signs until we got up to Egg Harbor, and then it was about 50/50. I would imagine this is somewhere Biden would win back, if I had to guess, though.
