Falling GOP vote in the Midwest

I agree.

Many posts in this forum say that the Midwest is trending Republican and that Republican candidates can win Minnesota and Wisconsin in the future. The main argument is that the population of the Midwest is white and that the Democratic Party is becoming the party of the minorities. But Obama performed much better in Minnesota and Wisconsin than Kerry and Gore, who are white.

2012
Minnesota D+7,7 (3,9 above national)
Wisconsin D+6,9 (3,1 above national)
USA D+3,8

2004
Minnesota D+3,5 (5,9 above national)
Wisconsin D+0,4  (2,8 above national)
USA R+2,4

Wisconsin improved even if compared to the national average

Happy New Year!

It was a great surprise for me. I wrote the first answer to this topic, went to the New Year celebration, came back, slept, woke up, and then I saw eight new answers. I have never seen a so high speed of answers before.
