The answer is that the polling in Wisconsin is off by more.

Why is the Driftless area more receptive to Biden than the PA rurals?

Wisconsin had a massive drop in voters going for either major party, and is one of the states Hillary lost the most votes in from Obama--there might be a larger pool of D voters who simply didn't like Hillary that Biden could regain.

The answer is that the polling in Wisconsin is off by more.

Literally do you have a shred of evidence to make this claim? Biden's at or over 50%, much smaller undecided pool this election, and at no point was Hillary over-polled.

My evidence is that polling overestimated Democrats in Wisconsin more than it overestimated them in Pennsylvania in both 2016 and 2018. In terms of fundamentals, Wisconsin is whiter and less-educated than Pennsylvania.

Please don't misconstrue this as me saying that Biden will lose Wisconsin, I'm just answering the question posed in the title.
