Polish Americans used to THE core component of the Wisconsin Democratic Party electorate going all the way back to their arrival in the state in the second half of the 1800's. This has dramatically changed in the Obama/Trump era. Obama won the Polish vote in 2008 by almost 25 points, yet by 2012 this already dropped to just a bit below 5 points. Trump then won it big by ~18.5 points in 2016 and ~24.5 points in 2020.*

*Wisconsin Votes, a great electoral history book by Robert Booth Fowler from 2008, had lists of towns/municipalities that he used to construct samples that could show how different ethnicities have voted throughout Wisconsin's history (Protestant Germans, Catholic Germans, Polish, Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians, and Swedish). I used his lists to construct the samples moving forward. I should note that the sample is almost exclusively rural/small town in nature. It's unfortunate that there is no longer any wards that he could use in Milwaukee.
